  • The ToolBank is seeking proposals for a consultant to help identify, survey, and outreach organizations that have, are, or potentially contributing towards Maryland's 5 Million Trees program. This project is to help reduce barriers to tree planting and maintenance in underserved communities across Baltimore and Maryland at large, specifically by reducing barriers to tools.


In addition to consciously minimizing our environmental footprint through energy efficiency and mindfulness, the Baltimore Community ToolBank features significant on-site projects that allow us to repurpose rainwater that falls from our roof.

Two main on-site features allow us to re-purpose more than 1 million gallons of stormwater runoff annually from over two acres of rooftop: 1) ToolBank Rain Gardens and 2) Stormwater Factory. Rainfall is rerouted to water native plants and wash tools. In turn, native flora creates bio-habitat for a range of pollinators from birds to butterflies to bats to bees and more.

We are proudly listed on the State of Maryland's Green Registry
