Your Wellness Journey Companion
Your Wellness Journey Companion
At Charipillar, we believe true wellness is about balance in all areas of life. Our program is built around the Eight Pillars of Health and Wellness—physical, nutritional, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, financial, and environmental. Through fun and engaging challenges, we help you strengthen these pillars while supporting causes that matter. Our mission? To raise $1 billion for worthy causes by 2036, making a lasting impact on the world while improving our well-being.
Meet Ian Tonks and his daughter Sophie, the founders of Charipillar. Their shared passion for faith, health, and giving brought this wellness movement to life. As Ian approached yet another milestone birthday, transitioning from a 20-year career as a business coach, he sought a fulfilling next chapter—one that would blend his passion for personal growth with a desire to make a lasting impact. Sophie, a sophomore at JSerra Catholic High School in San Juan Capistrano, was inspired by business and the power of generosity. From a simple conversation between father and daughter, Charipillar emerged—a legacy focused on faith, well-being, and giving back.
Charipillar isn’t just a wellness challenge—it’s a movement for positive change. We offer daily and weekly tasks designed to improve your well-being across all eight pillars. Each challenge is thoughtfully crafted to encourage personal growth and balance. And as you complete challenges, funds are donated to the charity of your choice. Together, we’re building healthier lives and a healthier planet, one challenge at a time.
Our challenges focus on these essential pillars of wellness:

Here are answers to some common questions about Decidifi to help you better understand how our platform works and how it can support your decision-making process:
Charipillar is a wellness challenge platform that supports your growth across eight core pillars of health and wellness: physical, nutritional, emotional, social, spiritual, intellectual, financial, and environmental. By participating in fun and engaging daily and weekly challenges, you improve your well-being and raise funds for charities aligned with these pillars.
Each time you complete a wellness challenge, funds are donated to a charity of your choice from our curated list. Our mission is to raise $1 billion for worthy causes by 2036, combining personal growth with meaningful impact on the world.
Charipillar is designed for anyone seeking a balanced wellness journey, from beginners to experienced wellness enthusiasts. Our challenges are customizable, allowing you to adjust the intensity to fit your personal goals.
Challenges are daily or weekly activities focused on enhancing one of the Eight Pillars of Wellness. They include physical activities, mindful practices, dietary adjustments, social interactions, financial goals, and sustainable habits that promote holistic well-being.
The Eight Pillars of Wellness that guide Charipillar are:
GiveSignup is the platform Charipillar uses to host challenges. It allows us to customize challenges, invite others to support or participate, communicate challenge progress, and manage donations to chosen charities.
The quick answer is, “we don’t.” Currently, Charipillar operates like a nonprofit entity. In the future, we may invite sponsorships, sell advertising, or monetize our Resource Hub, but for now, our focus is solely on facilitating wellness and charitable giving. If we do subsequently generate income, beyond any salary costs and expenses we may incur as we grow, we are committed to donating 100% of net revenues to our charities of choice, including St. Jude’s and Harbor Point Outreach.
The 4% transaction fee covers the costs of processing donations, including the merchant fees for payment processing and GiveSignup’s fee for platform hosting services.
Yes! Each participant can choose from our list of vetted charities and is not restricted to a specific charity associated with each pillar. For example, physical wellness challengers could support the Ocean Conservancy, while environmental wellness challenges might benefit the American Heart Association.
Absolutely. The community will help drive this decision, determining new challenges that align with our Eight Pillars of Wellness.
Presently, donations are limited to the nine charities listed in the Charities section of our website. While we hope to expand this list, we don’t currently envision adding GoFundMe-type options, as non-charitable recipients are harder to vet and approve.
The Wall of Fame celebrates participants who excel in their wellness journey. You can earn recognition as a Charipillar Champion by completing all 20 challenges in any single pillar, or reach the highest honor, Charipillar Conqueror, by completing all 160 challenges across every pillar.
Getting started is simple! Head to our “Start” page, follow the link to our GiveSignup page, and begin your first challenge. Whether you’re aiming for small lifestyle improvements or a full wellness transformation, Charipillar is here to guide and support you every step of the way.
Charipillar offers an Expert Resource Hub with tools and resources tailored to each wellness pillar. These include online guides, coaching resources, and apps that support you in your wellness goals.

The average company loses $2 million in productivity per year due to disengagement. The culprit is the four forces of disengagement–mismatches between your employee and their role, manager, culture, and team–resulting in employees who do the bare minimum to keep their job. What could you accomplish with a fully engaged team? The PI Employee Experience Survey™ allows managers to easily gauge employees and gather candid, confidential feedback on their work experience. The survey provides engagement trends at every level of your organization—whether that’s a team, a department, or your entire company. Insights will allow you to customize your actions to group strengths and needs, and improve engagement at micro and macro levels.
