The primary beneficiaries of this grant program are 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organizations and local service districts operating within Douglas County, particularly in Glide. The implicit impact goal is to enhance the capacity and reach of these organizations, enabling them to provide essential services and address community needs effectively. By prioritizing local entities, the fund aims to empower grassroots initiatives and ensure that resources are directed where they can have the most direct and meaningful impact on residents in the specified geographic area.

Expected outcomes include a more vibrant and economically secure downtown, a reduction in violence and improved public safety across the District, and enhanced educational opportunities and well-being for students and residents.
