Public Character & Event Entertainment

 

Community Template Bundle

What This Is

The Public Character & Event Entertainment Template Bundle is a nonprofit framework created by Charity Helpers Foundation to help communities safely create and host fictional public characters and themed entertainment events.

This system exists to make creative, character-driven engagement possible without confusion, impersonation, or legal risk. It provides clear structure so entertainment remains obviously fictional, ethical, nonprofit-aligned, and community-safe.

This is not a brand, a franchise, or a commercial license.
It is a template system intended for responsible local adaptation.

What “Public Character & Event Entertainment” Means

In this context, a public character is a fictional or theatrical persona presented in public settings for entertainment purposes. Examples include:

  • A fictional “King,” “Mayor,” or symbolic figure with no real authority

  • Costumed or role-based characters used for festivals or themed events

  • Narrative or lore-driven characters that create atmosphere and engagement

These characters may appear at:

  • Community events

  • Fundraisers

  • Performances

  • Themed gatherings

  • Educational or morale-building activities

All characters created using this bundle must remain clearly fictional and non-authoritative.

What This Is Not

This program does not allow:

  • Impersonation of real officials, celebrities, or authorities

  • Political campaigning or messaging

  • Religious instruction or representation

  • Claims of real power, leadership, or governance

  • Commercial exploitation for private profit

If it feels like it could confuse the public about who someone is or what authority they have, it does not belong in this program.

What’s Included in the Bundle

The downloadable ZIP contains 11 structured text files, including:

  • Program overview and scope

  • Character creation rules and boundaries

  • Event type guidance

  • Performer conduct standards

  • Required public disclaimers

  • Risk and liability awareness

  • Local adaptation guidance

  • Internal reporting expectations

  • A master README and usage guide

Together, these files form a complete system, not a single document to cherry-pick from.

How Communities Should Use This

This bundle is designed for:

  • Community organizers

  • Volunteer groups

  • Nonprofit programs

  • Creative collectives

  • Event hosts

Recommended use:

  1. Read the README first

  2. Review character and event boundaries

  3. Adapt aesthetics and themes locally

  4. Keep all disclaimers and safeguards intact

  5. Maintain nonprofit and fictional clarity at all times

Local customization is encouraged. Structural safeguards are not optional.

Fundraising and Commercial Limits

This program is nonprofit-first.

Allowed:

  • Donations

  • Fundraising tied to entertainment events

  • Cost recovery for materials or logistics

Not allowed:

  • Private profit extraction

  • Paid character licensing

  • Commercial endorsements

  • Selling characters as brands

If money is involved, it must remain aligned with charitable purpose.

Why This Exists

Creative public engagement can be powerful.
It can also become risky when boundaries are unclear.

This bundle exists to:

  • Encourage creativity without confusion

  • Protect volunteers and organizers

  • Prevent impersonation or misuse

  • Give communities a safe starting point instead of improvising rules after problems arise

Think of this as guardrails for imagination, not a limitation on it.
