About our Programs
Our Programs
Charity Helpers Foundation supports a range of charitable, educational, and community-focused initiatives.
Rather than operating as a single-purpose charity, we provide program templates, coordination frameworks, and examples that communities may adapt, replicate, or operate independently.
Our programs are organized into categories to make it easier to understand how different efforts fit together and how new ideas can be added over time.
If you are interested in adapting an existing program or proposing your own, please see:
[ How to Participate, Adapt, or Propose a Program ]
Media, Culture, and Public Narrative
Programs in this category focus on storytelling, media, and cultural engagement. These efforts shape values, encourage reflection, and provide educational or inspirational content to the public.
Examples include faith-based media, children’s content, and creative storytelling projects.

Education, Research, and Learning Systems
This category includes programs centered on learning, exploration, simulation, and research-oriented education. These projects are intended to be open-ended, exploratory, and accessible.
They may include games, experiments, educational tools, or structured research initiatives.

Community Coordination & Mutual Aid
These programs focus on helping people organize locally or digitally to meet practical needs. This includes coordination frameworks, shared systems, and mutual assistance models.
Some programs in this category provide infrastructure rather than services, allowing communities to act without heavy bureaucracy.

Community Economic & Skills Development (NEW)
Programs in this category focus on workforce skills, local fabrication capacity, and community-based economic resilience.
Rather than operating businesses directly, these initiatives provide open documentation, standards, training pathways, coordination tools, and charitable support models that help individuals and communities create sustainable economic activity.
Programs may include:
-
Open manufacturing and fabrication frameworks
-
Skills-based workforce development initiatives
-
Community shop and maker-space enablement
-
Hosted systems that support independent builders and service providers
Carrito, the modular community vehicle framework, is housed within this category.

Care, Welfare, and Practical Support
Programs in this category address direct care needs and welfare concerns. They are designed to be practical, scalable, and adaptable to local conditions.
Examples include animal welfare, affordable wellness initiatives, and other forms of direct support.

Public Entertainment & Shared Experience
These programs focus on public-facing events, performance, recreation, and shared experiences. They are designed to build morale, encourage participation, and create positive community engagement.
Projects in this category emphasize accessibility, volunteer involvement, and public enjoyment.

Memorials, Legacy, and Remembrance
Programs in this category are focused on honoring lives, preserving memory, and creating spaces for reflection and remembrance.
These initiatives are designed with long-term cultural and historical value in mind.

Open Templates and Replication
Many of our programs are published as templates or charters. Communities are encouraged to adapt, modify, or replicate them independently.
This category exists to make it clear that participation does not require central approval or permanent affiliation.
Hosted Programs and Shared Systems (NEW)
These are operational systems hosted by Charity Helpers Foundation for shared public or member use. Many of these started as templates, but are maintained as living systems so communities can use them immediately without needing to install anything.
Most hosted programs are also available as downloadable packages so groups can run private installs, local versions, or modified forks.
Hosted Programs may include:
-
directories and catalogs
-
membership or access control systems
-
coordination platforms
-
marketplace-style tools
-
submission, verification, and moderation workflows
-
other web-based systems built for replication
Civic Infrastructure & Resilience Systems (NEW)
Programs in this category focus on structural continuity, distributed capacity, and long-term resilience across essential community systems.
These initiatives explore how local communities can maintain stability, coordination, and access to core services without relying exclusively on centralized structures. The emphasis is on layered redundancy, voluntary participation, and practical continuity planning rather than ideology or political positioning.
Rather than operating services directly, these programs provide frameworks, models, documentation standards, and structural templates that communities may adopt, adapt, or ignore according to their needs.
Programs in this category may address:
-
Food system continuity and local distribution resilience
-
Community-based medical capacity and preventive frameworks
-
Distributed economic models and layered participation structures
-
Infrastructure fallback planning
-
Redundancy models for essential services
These systems are designed to strengthen communities through preparation, coordination, and clarity, not control or centralization.

A Note on Participation
Not every program listed here is active in every location. Some are fully operational, others exist as templates or pilot concepts.
Communities are free to:
-
adapt programs locally
-
operate independently
-
fork templates
-
or coordinate with us when helpful
The work matters more than who hosts it.
