Please take a moment to look through the various ways in which you can help support our global community of e-NABLE Volunteers!

Whether you would like to make a one time gift to help support and grow the enablingthefuture.org website, purchase gift cards to help provide materials and 3D printers to our e-NABLE chapters who have the most need or would like to donate directly to a specific e-NABLE Chapter, we have listed many different options below for you to check out!

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement as our e-NABLE Volunteer network grows and reaches out into the world to “Give A Helping Hand” to those in need of 3D printed assistive devices.

We could not do this without your help and generous gifts!

Choose from one time gift options below or choose to support us through a recurring payment on Patreon!

All donations made through these links will be used to help pay for upkeep, hosting, support and continued content creation for this website. Your donation helps to ensure that the 3D printable hand, arm and tools files, resources, stories, contests, educational materials, images, tutorials, instructions and support for those reaching out to the e-NABLE Community for assistance, can continue to thrive and help as many people as possible. enablingthefuture.org is not a 501c3 and your gifts are not tax deductible.

If you would like to make a large donation to the e-NABLE Community and require your gift or grant to be made to an official 501c3 for a tax receipt, please email me at jen.owen.enablevolunteer@gmail.com and I will direct you to our fiscal sponsor or one of the many e-NABLE Chapters that have become their own non-profit groups.

Please click on the Gift you would like to give below! 

If you would like to donate the assembly kits that include the padding, velcro straps, screws, elastics and gel tips needed to complete the hands so that clinics and classrooms do not have to purchase these materials, please visit the links below to be directed to 3D Universe where you can purchase an assembly kit and have it shipped directly to an e-NABLE Volunteer that will send it along with the donated hand kits.

**These kits will not be sent to you. They will be sent to the address above to be used for assembly and educational events. If you are in need of an assembly kit of your own, please visit our resources page HERE.

Donate directly to support Jen Owen’s Work for the e-NABLE Community

This is a privately owned website operated by Jen Owen, an e-NABLE Community Volunteer and partner of Ivan Owen. Ivan co-designed the first 3D printed hand for a young boy named Liam who was born missing fingers.

Jen started this blog in January of 2013 and continually updates the website with new designs, tutorials, assembly instructions, resources and stories from the Community so that those in need or who want to join and help, can find the information they need to help us in our mission to “Give The World A Helping Hand.”

Supporting or sponsoring this website makes it possible for Jen to devote her time and attention to maintaining this community resource.The e-NABLE Community is made up of thousands of engineers, teachers, students, designers, artists, philanthropists, scout troops, tinkerers, machinists, technology enthusiasts, bio-engineering majors, scientists, medical professionals, parents, children and dreamers from around the world who are using their 3D printers and donating their time and materials to make it possible to create and gift 3D printed assistive devices for those who were born missing fingers and hands or who have lost them due to war, natural disaster or disease.

All of the community’s designs are open-source and free to download so that anyone, anywhere with access to the necessary technologies can create a device for themselves or someone in need.

Thank you for believing in this global Community and our hope to make a difference!
