From the Community

Real experiences from neighbors, volunteers, and nonprofits in Hunter's Hill HOA, Centennial, CO.

“

After my husband passed I let the yard go completely. I was too embarrassed to ask my kids for help again. A neighbor mentioned Chores for Charity and within two days a young man named Marcus had the whole thing done — raked, edged, bagged. I cried a little. He was so kind. And knowing it went to Denver Rescue Mission made it feel like something bigger.

“

I've done TaskRabbit, I've done Craigslist gigs. This is different. When I finished assembling those shelves for the Garcias, they showed me a confirmation email that $65 had gone to Project Angel Heart. Their daughter has leukemia — that charity delivers meals to their house. I went home and signed up for three more tasks that same evening.

Most of our donations are restricted — they have to go toward specific programs. The money from Chores for Charity is unrestricted cash, which is genuinely rare. We've used it to cover a gap in our weekend food packing supplies twice now. Small amounts, but they showed up exactly when we needed them. That reliability matters enormously to a small nonprofit.

I Need Help

Get everyday tasks done by a neighbor — and turn your chore into a charitable donation.

How it works for you

You get help with a chore.
A local charity gets paid.

Chores for Charity connects Hunter's Hill HOA residents in Centennial, CO with vetted, background-checked community volunteers who handle everyday tasks — lawn care, furniture assembly, errands, tech help, and more. There is no hourly rate to negotiate and no cash changes hands between you and the volunteer.

Instead, the full market value of your task is donated directly to a local nonprofit of your choosing. You pay a small platform fee (comparable to standard payment processing), describe what you need, pick your charity, and a volunteer in your neighborhood takes care of the rest. Every completed task generates a real donation — tracked, verified, and deposited monthly.

How it works for you

Your time is worth more than you think.

When you volunteer through Chores for Charity, your effort doesn't just help a neighbor — it becomes a real cash donation to a local nonprofit.

No asking anyone for money. Just showing up and doing what you're already good at.

You set your own schedule, choose your distance, and pick the tasks that fit your skills. Every volunteer is background-checked and ID-verified before their first task, and you're covered by organizational liability insurance the entire time. Whether you have an hour on a Saturday or a few afternoons a week, every task you complete generates a guaranteed donation to a charity serving Hunter's Hill HOA and the Centennial community.

Frequently Asked Questions
For community volunteers
7 answers
Questions for community members who want to volunteer their time and skills.
Getting Started
Do I get paid for completing tasks?▾
No. This is volunteer work. The "payment" is a donation made to a charity in your honor. You are not an employee or contractor. The platform explicitly prohibits any volunteer from accepting direct payment from task requesters.
Am I personally liable if someone is injured?▾
Generally no. The Volunteer Protection Act of 1997 (42 U.S.C. § 14503) provides substantial personal immunity for volunteers acting in good faith within the scope of their duties, without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Can I deduct volunteer expenses on my taxes?▾
Yes — unreimbursed mileage (14 cents/mile for charitable driving), parking, tolls, and required specialized gear not suitable for everyday use may be deductible. The value of your time is NOT deductible. Consult a tax professional.
What if I accidentally damage property?▾
Report it immediately through the app. Our organizational liability insurance covers good-faith accidental damage during task execution. Never attempt to settle privately with the task requester.
Task Logistics
How does photo verification work?▾
Submit a "before" photo when you arrive and an "after" photo upon completion. The system cross-references both against the task description. If automated verification can't confirm, a human moderator reviews within 2 hours.
Can I bring a friend to help?▾
Yes, but only approved platform volunteers may assist on tasks. Unapproved helpers are not covered by insurance or the VPA. Any co-volunteer must have a complete, verified profile before participating.

Questions for nonprofit organizations considering joining the Chores for Charity partner network.

Yes. All funds disbursed to partner charities are unrestricted cash with no programmatic conditions, no reporting requirements back to Chores for Charity, and no designated use restrictions. You spend them however your mission requires.
When do we receive payments?▾
First business day of each calendar month. Minimum disbursement threshold of $25 (balances below this carry forward). You receive an itemized statement with each payment detailing every task completed on your behalf.
Operations
What are our obligations once approved?▾
Maintain your 501(c)(3) status, keep contact information and W-9 current, respond to annual re-verification requests, and notify us of major organizational changes. Standard nonprofit hygiene — nothing extra.

Investors & Funders

Seed & Operations Prospectus · Seeking $5K–$50K+

Why this matters

Most philanthropy is spent once.
This one keeps giving.

Chores for Charity is a peer-to-peer task marketplace where Hunter's Hill HOA residents in Centennial, CO get help with everyday household needs — lawn care, furniture assembly, errands, tech support — and every completed task generates a direct, unrestricted cash donation to a local nonprofit. No percentage cut. No programmatic strings. 100% of the task value flows to the charity, every time.

The platform is operational. The pilot has proven demand on all three sides — task requesters, volunteers, and partner charities are all active. What stands between a proven pilot and a permanent community institution is one investment: the infrastructure needed to scale matching intelligence, expand insurance coverage, and reach the full population of both cities. A grant at even the $5K–$50K+ level does not fund a program. It funds an engine — one that generates its own charitable capital indefinitely, long after the initial investment is made.

Frequently Asked Questions
For funders and grant-makers
6 answers
Questions about the investment model, use of funds, impact measurement, and organizational health.
The Model
How does a grant generate charitable impact?▾
Your grant funds operational infrastructure — the CoMatch AI engine, liability insurance, and marketing. This enables volunteers to complete tasks. Each completed task generates a 100% pass-through donation to a partner nonprofit. A $5,000 grant enabling 100 additional tasks per year produces $4,500–$8,500 in new charitable donations annually — indefinitely.
Why 501(c)(3) rather than for-profit?▾
501(c)(3) status maximizes grant eligibility and donor tax benefits. It also legally reinforces our core promise: we cannot distribute profits to shareholders, which means every efficiency gain is reinvested into expanding impact.
Use of Funds
What percentage goes to overhead vs. program?▾
Our model is intentionally inverted: grant funds ARE the overhead, and community activity IS the program. 100% of task value goes directly to partner charities — grants never touch that stream.
What are your current pilot metrics?▾
As of early 2026: 247 tasks completed, $4,820 donated to partner charities, 86 active volunteers, 10 partner nonprofits onboarded, 4.9★ average rating. Users are actively redirecting funds from commercial competitors into the platform — a key indicator of organic market fit.
Organizational Resilience
How do you guard against mission creep?▾
Explicit structural safeguards: strict task category boundaries, mandatory post-mortems using Five Whys, diverse funding channels (fee, grants, CSR) to prevent single-dependency collapse, and quarterly board review of mission alignment.
What is the expansion plan beyond the pilot?▾
Phase 4 (Year 2): AI fraud detection deployment, corporate CSR/VTO integrations, geographic expansion to additional Centennial neighborhoods and HOA communities. We deliberately avoid rapid multi-city expansion until unit economics are proven.

About

Our mission, the model, the research, and the person behind the platform.

Chores for Charity
Our Mission

To empower community resilience by converting everyday labor into philanthropic capital.

A peer-to-peer philanthropic task marketplace. Neighbors get help, volunteers donate their effort, and local nonprofits receive unrestricted cash — every single task.

The Problem We're Solving

Hunter's Hill HOA in Centennial, Colorado is a community whose residents have high need for home maintenance help and often find professional service rates out of reach. Hunter's Hill HOA in Centennial has active waitlists for home maintenance help, demonstrating clear unmet demand within the community.

Local nonprofits consistently report a shortage of unrestricted, flexible cash. Traditional volunteering generates goodwill but not revenue. Chores for Charity closes both gaps simultaneously — neighbors get affordable help, volunteers get meaningful purpose, and charities receive real money they can spend on operations.

The Research Behind It

This platform is grounded in rigorous analysis of peer-to-peer philanthropic task marketplaces — examining the gig economy from TaskRabbit's 2008 launch through the 2025 Idealist/VolunteerMatch merger, AI-driven fraud detection, Colorado's grant ecosystem, and IRS/legal compliance requirements.

Questions for funders, grant-makers, and investors considering supporting Chores for Charity.
The Model
How does a grant generate charitable impact?▾
Your grant funds operational infrastructure — AI matching, liability insurance, and marketing. This enables more volunteers to complete tasks. Each completed task generates a 100% pass-through donation to a partner nonprofit. A $5,000 grant enabling 100 additional tasks per year produces $4,500–$8,500 in new charitable donations annually — indefinitely.
Why 501(c)(3) rather than for-profit?▾
501(c)(3) status maximizes grant eligibility and donor tax benefits. It also legally reinforces our core promise: we cannot distribute profits to shareholders, which means every efficiency gain is reinvested into expanding community impact.
What does “perpetual impact” mean?▾
Unlike a direct gift to a charity, which is spent once, an operational grant to Chores for Charity funds infrastructure that continuously generates charitable donations as long as the platform runs — long after the initial grant period ends.
Use of Funds & Metrics
What percentage goes to overhead vs. program?▾
Our model is intentionally inverted: grant funds ARE the overhead, and community activity IS the program. 100% of task value goes directly to partner charities — grants never touch that stream. As AI automation reduces per-task costs, the ratio improves over time.
What are the current pilot metrics?▾
As of early 2026 in the Hunter's Hill HOA pilot: 247 tasks completed, $4,820 donated to partner charities, 86 active volunteers, 10 partner nonprofits, 4.9★ average rating. Volunteer re-engagement rate 78%. Organic referral rate 34%.
Structure & Expansion
How do you guard against mission creep?▾
Strict task category boundaries (10 defined types), mandatory post-mortems after every milestone miss, diverse funding channels (fee, grants, CSR) to prevent single-dependency collapse, and quarterly board review of mission alignment.
What is the expansion plan?▾
Phase 4 (Year 2): AI fraud detection, corporate CSR/VTO integrations, and expansion to additional Centennial neighborhoods and HOA communities. We deliberately avoid rapid multi-community expansion until unit economics are fully proven.
