Primary Concern
During times of severe economic hardship and financial
distress, the Foundation’s primary concern is in
providing support for organizations and projects that
address unmet human and social needs.

Special Concerns
The Foundation gives priority to proposals that reflect
the following values espoused by Jay and Rose Phillips:

• Self-sufficiency should be the goal of all efforts to
  assist people;
• Families should be strengthened as nurturing and
  financially stable environments for children;
• The quality of health care should be continually
  improved for the benefit of all people;
• Quality education as the key to individual success
  should be promoted;
  
• People with disabilities and the elderly should be
  able to live as independently as possible;
• Good relations among people of all races and religions
  should be fostered and discrimination should
  be actively opposed;
• The arts should be supported primarily as a vehicle
  to address social issues.
