Figure out how PHP's include_path feature works and use that.
http://php.net/set_include_path
You should use set_include_path to define what directory[ies] PHP

include 'includeme.php';

Non-profits/Charities often have programming needs not being met by
traditional (costly) developers.
They may have SOME cash, but not a lot.
