Tools For Good
At Oregon Tool, we believe in putting our tools and our values to work for the greater good. Through our Tools for Good program, we proudly support initiatives that align with our mission to make a positive impact on people, communities, and the planet.
We are proud to support the veritree Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to accountable, transparent restoration philanthropy. Their mission is to support ecosystem restoration where community leadership and ecological expertise come together to restore forests, coastlines, and other vital ecosystems. All projects are independently monitored and verified, supporting credible and transparent reporting on impact. Our support contributes to restoring degraded landscapes, strengthening local communities, and advancing long-term ecological recovery.
We are supporting restoration of the Old Bonjoge Forest near Kisumu City, Kenya, helping improve ecosystem health and community benefits. Learn more about the project and explore the Impact Hub!
Domestically, we support Saluting Branches, a nonprofit organization that unites tree and landscape care professionals to volunteer their time and expertise in service to our nation’s veterans. Each year during a National Day of Service, volunteers across the U.S. care for the properties where veterans are laid to rest – ensuring they remain safe, beautiful, and a place where service and sacrifice are remembered. Together, we’re using our tools and skills to give back to those who served and to help preserve the spaces that honor their legacy.
We also partner with the Trailkeepers of Oregon, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and enhancing hiking trails. Our support provides tools for volunteers and funding for their saw training sessions, equipping volunteers and trail stewards with the skills and certifications needed to safely use saws for trail maintenance across Oregon and Washington. By strengthening this critical training, we’re helping empower more people to take part in volunteer events and hands-on trail work, keeping trails safe, accessible, and sustainable for all.
Other Organizations Supported Through Our Tools for Good Program
Disaster Response Team
For more than a decade, Oregon Tool’s Disaster Response Team has been at the forefront of supporting U.S. communities in crisis. Since its founding in 2012, the team has deployed to over 22 natural disasters, providing essential tools, technical expertise, and hands-on support to help first responders, local officials, and residents recover and rebuild. Whether sharpening saw chains, repairing equipment, or sharing vital safety knowledge, the team’s commitment goes beyond supplying products – they deliver the resources and care needed to restore access and hope in the aftermath of natural disasters.
The Disaster Response Team exemplifies Oregon Tool’s dedication to making a lasting, positive impact wherever help is needed most. Learn more about the team’s origins and innovative approach here.
