Mission
The mission of The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation is to honor the legacy of its founders, Jay and Rose Phillips, by continuing the family tradition of sharing resources for the public good, while exercising leadership and flexibility in responding to emerging community needs.

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.   (continued on next page)
