Vote for us in the Crescent Fund!

Hello Members!

Help vote for us here as we push forward with an opportunity to develop a DIY Energy Auditing Kit.

The shoppers of the Crescent City Farmer's Market graces three lucky organizations with the chance to gain up to $500 in funding for a program in return for time, talent, or treasure. This is made possible through there Crescent Fund which you can learn about by clicking here.

The DIY Energy Auditing Kit Proposal
Our Tool Lending Library has proposed to develop a simple, user friendly, Do-It-Yourself Energy Auditing Kit. Included in the kit will be simple tools that your everyday homeowner or renter can use to save energy and money. With the help of some local, experienced organizations, we would provide step-by-step instruction both in print and online.

View some of the proposed tools the kit will include here:

...In Return
The Crescent Fund is a "cash infusion", meaning that the Tool Lending Library must return the fund through time, talent, or treasure. In return for receiving the fund, the HandsOn New Orleans Tool Lending Library promises to give back 5 one-year memberships at 50% off the normal cost, 4-5 picnic tables and/or benches totalling at a $250 value, and a free workshop at the Tuesday Market on one of the following tasks:
  • constructing a backed bench
  • constructing a picnic table
  • erecting a compost bin
  • building a chicken coop
  • or building a garden box
Thanks everyone, and don't forget to tell your friends to vote here:
