Mission and Vision

Our Mission

The mission of The Jay and Rose Phillips Family Foundation of Minnesota is to honor the legacy of its founders by supporting efforts that address the unmet human and social needs of individuals, families, and communities that have the least access to resources.

Our Vision

Our vision is based on the legacy and example of our founders, Jay and Rose Phillips, whose generosity and commitment to buidling a stronger community for all continue to guide our work.

We envision:

• A community where all have the opportunity to lead productive lives, provide for themselves and their families, and participate fully in community life.
• A community that celebrates diversity, eliminates discrimination, and offers a hand up, not a handout, to those in need.
• A community where those with the least access to resources find clear pathways to education and skills, to jobs that provide a living wage, and to safe, affordable housing.
• A community where people, organizations, and institutions work together to tackle persistent challenges, create opportunity, and achieve results.

This vision shapes both what we do and how we work.
