Our Mission

The David Phillips Foundation supports and uplifts children and their families through recreation programs that allow them to heal, grow, and play.

The David Phillips Foundation improves the lives of children and their families, strengthens neighborhood ties, and builds community, through recreation, sports, and opportunities to “play.” Further, we work to support and uplift children and families who have lost a parent, by providing resources, and making connections with additional support providers in their communities.
