Giving Philosophy
The foundation's giving is rooted in the mission of the Pilgrim Uniting Church, demonstrating a commitment to social justice, community care, indigenous reconciliation, and the fostering of arts, particularly music and heritage. They support initiatives for marginalized people, those experiencing homelessness, refugees, and advocate for climate action. A notable commitment includes devoting a percentage of general foundation funds to the SA Regional Council of Congress, partly as reparation for benefits from the sale of unceded Kaurna land.
