Make a Difference
Every dollar given to KMWDF goes directly toward putting tools in the hands of woodworkers with disabilities who need them, and toward building the programs, partnerships, and community that make this mission possible.
There are many ways to support our work, and every contribution, regardless of size or form, matters deeply to the makers we serve. KMWDF is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 85-2994713) and donations are tax deductible to the fullest extent permitted by law. Donors who need an official tax deductible receipt may request one by emailing treasurer@kmwdf.org.
Give Today
The simplest and most immediate way to support KMWDF is a one-time gift. Every contribution goes toward funding grants, supporting programming, and expanding our reach to the woodworkers who need us most. No amount is too small, and every dollar is put to work.
Become a Recurring Supporter
Some of the most meaningful support we receive comes from donors who give a little every month. A monthly gift creates reliable, predictable funding that allows us to plan ahead, fulfill more grants, and serve more makers throughout the year. It is one of the most impactful things an individual supporter can do for KMWDF, and you can start, pause, or cancel at any time.
Make a Tribute Gift
A gift to KMWDF is a meaningful way to celebrate someone you love or honor the memory of someone you have lost. Whether you are marking a birthday, an anniversary, or a life well lived, a tribute gift ensures that your dedication to someone special translates into real support for the makers we serve. We will acknowledge your gift and the person it honors with care and gratitude.
TOOL DONATIONS & SPONSORSHIPS
Donate Tools or Equipment
We're not here to follow trends—we're here to build something timeless. With a blend of creativity, strategy, and heart, we help ideas come to life. Every project we take on is an opportunity to learn, grow, and do something meaningful. We treat our clients like partners and our work like craft.
Partner With Us
KMWDF actively seeks partnerships with tool manufacturers, retailers, lumber companies, and businesses across the woodworking, crafting, and maker arts industries who want to put their brand behind a mission that matters. A corporate sponsorship with KMWDF is an opportunity to reach an engaged and passionate community while making a direct, measurable difference in the lives of woodworkers with disabilities. Whether you are interested in financial sponsorship, product donations, event partnerships, or co-branded programming, we want to start a conversation.
