Thank you to our Partners

We ask that sponsorship contributions support our operational expenses.

Our partners, funders, and sponsors support Hammerstone’s mission of empowering women & gender minorities through craft trades education.

At Hammerstone, we can honestly say that without their commitment, our innovative work would not be possible. Thank you to the funders and partners below for believing in Hammerstone and its impact.

Becoming a Hammerstone Partner Organization is a great way to show our students, donors, and the business community that your company is committed to laying the foundation for a more skilled and inclusive trades workforce. Because of our partners, we’re able to offer hands-on carpentry education that empowers historically marginalized individuals to build with confidence, care for their homes, and pursue careers in the trades.

Please join us in expressing gratitude to our Partner Organizations by patronizing their businesses and thanking them for their commitment to the community.
