Education Changes Lives

We believe that providing access to adequate learning and holistic education opportunities supports young people to reach their full potential.

Build life-affirming skills

The Foundation focuses on programs that help young people in developing countries build skills, confidence and resilience through participation in a combination of education, sport and social activities.

Reaching full potential

In the past 12 months we have consolidated our funding partners across our strategic, discretionary and funding partner streams. Through our funding partners, The Phillips Foundation achieved significant impact globally.

Goals & Mission

The Phillips Foundation has developed a change framework that outlines how it makes a difference in Australia and overseas.

What can we do?

  • Support communities to gain access to quality learning and education opportunities.
  • Connect people through participation in sport to promote social, physical and recreational well-being and community engagement.
  • Provide not just funds, but our own time and skills in business, coaching and education.
  • Raise awareness of the challenges many disadvantaged communities experience, and the opportunities that exist to help young people change their own lives.

This will lead to...

  • Participants developing the knowledge, skills and confidence that will enable them to identify, create and access learning opportunities.
  • Increased participation in sport and recreational activities that brings associated social, health and wellbeing benefits.
  • Communities having the skills, knowledge and confidence to establish and build businesses and create employment opportunities for others.
  • A clearer understanding of the challenges developing and disadvantaged communities face through listening first-hand to their stories.

And ultimately...

  • Young people build life-long skills that promote holistic wellbeing.
  • Young people’s confidence, courage and sense of purpose are developed.
  • Young people and their families achieve greater economic independence.
  • Respect for young people across communities is strengthened.
