Dr. Phillips Charities honors the legacy of the Phillips family and its support of organizations that live up to the motto "to help others help themselves."

As stewards of the Phillips family legacy for over 50 years, Dr. Phillips Charities has born the ethical responsibility of ensuring that its charitable contributions honor and contribute to the Phillips family vision. Directors of Dr. Phillips Charities prefer to make grants that will have a significant and lasting impact on the community, including worthy capital purposes and innovative projects that address a critical community need and that demonstrate a potential for ongoing support from the community.

Proposals are generally accepted three times a year and submitting organizations should carefully review the grant making guidelines and application procedures.  Those organizations and projects that garner support reflect:

• Projects that are innovative and efficient in their use of funds.
• Projects that are well planned in their approach in solving core problems and delivering services.
• Projects that promote better quality of life and a sense of community.
• Projects that require initial "seed money" enabling an organization to expand and continue after the initial funding is received/spent.
• Projects that seek to preserve the free enterprise system and protect private property rights.
• Projects that are designed to benefit, preserve and improve the community of Dr. Phillips, Florida.
