Empowering the helpers.

At Carte Blanche we are committed to finding, and funding the helpers in the communities we serve. By empowering those with the knowledge, experience, and passion for lifting up their communities and the environment, we ensure that the helpers of our world have the resources they need.

"When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, ‘Look for the helpers. You will always find people that are helping.’” — Fred Rogers

We focus on organizations that build meaningful connections within communities and empower individuals to overcome barriers and live full, purposeful lives. Through financial aid and resources, we support programs dedicated to ensuring the people they serve have access to housing, education, food, and other essential needs.

health & wellbeing

Women's health has been critically underfunded for decades, leading to significant gaps in research, understanding, and treatment of conditions that primarily affect women.

Our program champions improved outcomes for women by supporting efforts often overlooked in medical research and care. We direct resources to organizations advancing women’s health and extend vital support to groups providing emergency medical assistance. Strengthening women’s health not only benefits individuals, but also has a ripple effect—helping families and communities lead healthier, more secure lives.

disaster assistance

Disaster assistance has become an increasingly critical area for philanthropic support due to the rising frequency and intensity of natural disasters linked to climate change.
