How did HELP develop?
In 2002, we developed our basic philosophy and mission. Our infrastructure — including our legal entity status, trademark, boards and business plan — was built in 2003.
During this time, our Founding Board was created. The members of the Board volunteered their service and provided the funds that covered Global HELP’s operating expenses. This meant that all contributions from non-Board members were used to create and distribute publications, a model that remains to this day.
The Founding Board included Lynn & Lana Staheli, Susan Elliott, Lars Jonsson and Paul Merriman.
How is HELP funded?
Donations received from non-Board members are used entirely for developing publications and for free distribution of this material from our website. Printed materials are available at the cost of production and shipping. HELP makes no profit from these materials.
Are HELP publications free?
Access and use of all PDF material on the website is free and open access. Printed books and posters are available at very low cost. A donation to HELP is requested.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
All donations are tax-deductible. HELP is officially registered as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit entity within the United States.
May HELP material be copied?
Yes. Unless otherwise stated, our objective is the widespread distribution of healthcare material. Copying the material is authorized for non-profit purposes only. Any “for profit” purpose is strictly forbidden and considered illegal.
