Douglas County’s community support recently saw a significant boost thanks to a number of awards intended to address pressing needs. Douglas County Commissioners have announced that a total of $135,000 will be distributed to 19 charity groups through the Philip S. Miller Trust’s 2024 allocation. These funds are designated to support a wide range of initiatives, including school-age kid programs, emergency financial help, therapy, senior care, and suicide prevention.
“The Douglas County Community Foundation’s incredible contributions to our community have grown exponentially each year,” said Douglas County Commissioner Abe Laydon, highlighting the impact on the community. He said, “We are honored to have the opportunity to partner with you to elevate our Community Emergency Relief Fund (CERF) and ensure that those in our community who face a crisis have the resources they need,” according to Douglas County. The new awards carry on a legacy of outreach and aid that provides a wide range of support for disadvantaged and at-risk populations.
“We are grateful to the Board of County Commissioners for entrusting us to be good stewards of their financial gifts to worthy and vetted Douglas County nonprofits,” said Tera Radloff, chair of the Douglas County Community Foundation (DCCF), which coordinates grant distribution on behalf of Douglas County. She emphasized that these funds, which were acquired by Douglas County, are essential for allowing neighborhood groups to keep having a big influence on the community.
The 2024 Miller grants will go to a wide range of nonprofit organizations. This year’s recipients, which were selected for their contributions to enhancing the county’s quality of life, are the Parker Task Force for Human Services, Help & Hope Center, and Backpack Society. According to the county’s press release, agencies like Aging Resources of Douglas County and Castle Rock Senior Activity Center will also get support in their ongoing efforts to serve the senior population.
