give the gift of skill

At Hammerstone, we believe that building something with your own two hands can transform the way you see yourself and the world around you. Whether it’s the first time you pick up a power tool or the moment you step back and admire a bookshelf you built from scratch, what we’re really creating is confidence, community, and self-reliance.

All contributions support our operational expenses, for example:

$10 per month

Small tools, big impact! This gift helps us replace essential classroom supplies, like drill bits, clamps, and saw blades.

$50+ per month

Your steady support keeps us going. At this level, you help cover utilities, staff hours, and classroom materials that allow us to run smooth, safe, and empowering learning experiences all year long.

One-Time Gift of $500+

You’re helping us grow. A gift at this level can purchase a new shared classroom tool, like a saw, giving students access to high-quality equipment and the confidence to use it.

Thank YOU

for your gift!

We envision a future where women and gender-expansive individuals thrive in trades careers. One where homes and neighborhoods are preserved with care and skill, and everyone, regardless of identity or income, has access to the knowledge and resources they need to build, repair, and sustain the spaces they call home.

When you remove financial barriers, you create more inclusive stories. You empower a diverse community of historically marginalized tradespeople to step into meaningful careers, preserve homes with sustainable practices, and strengthen communities by sharing knowledge and building equity, both financial and social.
