Sheboyggin this way to community
your story is worth
more than you know.
here's something we believe: when someone shares something real — something funny, heartbreaking, or unexpectedly true — it moves people. and when people are moved, they want to do something with that feeling.
that's the idea behind Sheboyggin this way to charity — a charitable entity we're working to establish, separate from the platform. once registered with CRA, its board will determine where support goes — guided by what stories surface here, but not directed by the platform.
to be clear: Sheboyggin This Way To Charity is not yet a registered charity. nothing on this page is a tax-deductible donation. we're building the foundation; this page is where you can follow along.
in formation
we're working through CRA charity registration — board, bylaws, governing purposes. community cause voting opens once the charity is registered. sign up below and you'll be the first to know.
chosen by the community
causes this community may help shape
these aren't causes picked from a list. they reflect the real-world places the stories shared here actually point to. once the charity is registered, community stories and voices will inform — but not bind — the charity's board.
Environmental Care
Supporting communities on the front lines of climate impact — clean water, clean air, and the right to a liveable world.
Education Access
Getting books, tools, and teachers to kids who have the same curiosity as everyone else, but fewer resources to feed it.
Healthcare Reach
Funding clinics, medicine, and mental health support in places where care is hard to find and even harder to afford.
Community Resilience
Helping people rebuild after disaster, find safety when displaced, and strengthen the bonds that hold communities together.
Arts & Culture
Keeping storytelling traditions alive and giving creative communities the resources to make, share, and be heard.

simple by design
how it works here
share what you've lived
submit a story from your real life. optionally link it to a cause that feels connected to it — something the story made you think about.
the community backs what moves them
jigg votes signal what resonates — toward a story becoming an animated episode, and toward the themes that matter most to this community. that signal may inform the charity's priorities.
stories may inform action — later
sheboyggin this way to charity is a future charitable entity, separate from the platform. application to CRA is in progress. once registered, its board will decide what to support — guided by what surfaces here, but never bound by it.
three separate things, one shared purpose
the community (SSA, federal NFP), the operating company (Sheboyggin Productions S.A.R.F., federal corp), and the future charity each operate independently. they share a mission — human connection — but decisions, funds, and governance stay separate.

votes will appear here as stories are linked to causes and the community backs them.
sheboyggin productions s.a.r.f. (federal CBCA corporation, incorporated 2026-02-24) is the operator of sheboyggin.com — it receives jigg purchases, pays creators, and contracts vendors. sheboyggin stewardship association (federal not-for-profit, registered 2026-02-06) is the community body whose members participate on the platform; SSA intends to apply to CRA for charitable status. sheboyggin this way to charity is a future charitable entity we're working to establish (likely as a registered branch of SSA); it is not yet registered with the canada revenue agency and is not currently able to issue tax-deductible donation receipts. jigg purchases on this platform are not charitable donations. the 5% community reserve shown above is held by Sheboyggin Productions S.A.R.F. pending charity registration; we'll publish what happens with it before it changes hands.
