About With Help From

Businesses sponsor teams, donate roofs, fix websites and fill food pantries every week. Most of them get a name in a photo caption and nothing else. The organizations they help usually have a website, and most would happily credit the business there with a link if anyone asked. Almost nobody asks.

With Help From is a free notice board that fixes that. Organizations post what they need and where they credit supporters. Businesses post what they can give. When a deed gets done, we write it up. That is the whole product.

The purpose is plain: more good deeds, and credit for the businesses that do them. Organizations get help they would not otherwise get. Small businesses get found by people in their own community for something they actually did. Nobody pays anyone.

Who runs it

With Help From is built and run by Taro Schenker, a solo developer who builds small web products, through Known by One, LLC, a Delaware company. There is no team, no investors and no sales department. If you email contact@withhelpfrom.com, Taro reads it.

How listings are checked

• A person reads every listing, claim and deed report before it goes live, usually within a day.
• For organizations we open the supporters page they give us, count how many supporters it already links to, and print that number on the listing. We re-check about once a month.
• Organizations whose supporters page links to their own listing are marked verified, because that proves they control the site.
• Some organizations are listed from public information and marked unclaimed. They have not agreed to anything. Contact them through their own site.
• When a deed report names the page where the business was credited, we check that page for the link and say what we found.

What we will not do

We do not sell listings, placements or links, and we remove anyone who tries to. We do not promise that any credit will be given or that search engines will treat a link any particular way. Credits are for real help given. The terms say the same thing in more words.

Where the idea came from

A roofer in South Florida donated a roof through a local Habitat for Humanity chapter. The chapter wrote about it and linked to him, a local news station picked it up, and the post was shared 200 times. A local SEO called Bodhi shared that on X, and Edward Sturm told the story on his daily SEO podcast on 2 September 2026, calling it goodwill link building: do good things for organizations, then ask for the credit. He also pointed out that almost nobody asks. This board went up the same day. Credit to both of them for the idea.
