How we invest
The Phillips Foundation directs its resources – financial, time and expertise – through three investment streams.
More information on our discretionary grants program, strategic funding program and systems change investment can be found below.
To learn more about the types of programs, projects and organisations we work with, please review our current partner profile.
Discretionary Grants
Eligible charities (endorsed as DGR1 status) can apply for up to $50,000 for one year funding. Projects are typically assessed on their impact and service delivery outcomes.
- Discretionary Grants Expressions of Interest (EoIs) open from 1 February to 31 March each year.
- Shortlisted EOIs will be invited to submit a grant application.
- We also consider applications in response to disaster relief and respond to EoIs out of cycle in these circumstances.
