What does
someone need?
A specific need and a clear way to help. Anyone should be able to understand the undertaking before deciding to take part.
Glimpse isTHE TRUST LAYER
FOR GIVING.
Glimpse brings people and local businesses together to meet practical needs—and makes the work visible.
01 / THE MISSIONGLIMPSE / OPEN RECORD
We believe giving should be simple, effective, and transparent.
Our ambition is to find the most effective use of a dollar in the world. We start with practical needs, work with the people who can help, and learn from what actually happens.
THE STANDARD WE HOLD OURSELVES TO
Three questions guide the work.
GLIMPSE / THE OPEN RECORD
What does
What will
actually help?
Choose practical work that meets the need. Look at the full cost and what it accomplished, then use what we learn to improve.
Can we see
what happened?
Keep the commitment, spending, delivery, and unfinished work in an open record. Show the follow-through while protecting the people receiving help.
A STANDARD TO WORK TOWARD.A RECORD TO CHECK IT AGAINST.

GOOD WORK
DESERVES
AN AUDIENCE.
Doing good and making money can go together.
We plan to earn revenue by selling advertising to small and local businesses around our livestreams and stories.
Businesses can also help meet the needs we feature. People get to see how they show up for the community, giving them a reason to choose those businesses.

One less thing standing in the way.
We're supporting women raising children in single-parent households, women in domestic violence shelters, women in rehabilitation, and women rebuilding life after incarceration.
An interior car detail is also included for participating women who would like one.
Individual contributions are not open yet. We plan to open them at this event with contribution details revealed during the livestream.
October event details & follow-through ↗NOV—Make room at the table.Thanksgiving · November 2026THE VISION
Bring the community together around practical help at Thanksgiving. The aim is to ease some of the pressure of the season and give people a reason to feel supported.
We'll shape the undertaking around the need and the local people and businesses who can help.
DEC—Care for the people who teach.Teacher appreciation · December 2026THE VISION
Turn appreciation for teachers and public school employees into something useful. Bring local businesses and the community together to recognize the people who spend their days supporting others.
Listen to what would make a difference, then build the undertaking around that.
JAN2027Choose the next useful thing.Community direction · January 2027SHAPE WHAT'S NEXT
Take what we learn and invite holders to help shape the next focus: continue supporting public school employees, address another need, or combine the two.
The goal stays the same: find where our community can put a dollar to its most effective use.

DECISIONS / IN THE OPEN
What role will holders have?
We intend for holder input to help shape which needs Glimpse takes on. Eligibility, voting methods, and how input is weighed remain open as we seek regulatory clarity and legal guidance. No binding voting or ownership rights are promised.
Who makes the final decision?
Derrick retains final responsibility for company spending and execution. The aim is to publish community input, the chosen direction, and the reasons behind it.
Will Glimpse become a nonprofit?
Creating a nonprofit or partnering with an existing one are options being explored. Neither route is confirmed. Glimpse is currently a media business.
What will “effective” mean?
We will need to show the full cost, what was delivered, whether it met the intended need, and what we learned. “Most effective” is the ambition, not a verified ranking.
