Reichstein Foundation is a family foundation established by Lance Reichstein in 1970.
The Foundation is committed to making philanthropy more accessible and responsive to the most disadvantaged members of our community.

 

Our Vision

Reichstein Foundation’s vision is for a just and sustainable society that celebrates diversity and mutual respect for all peoples. The Foundation is committed to the elimination of discrimination and oppression based on gender, race, class, sexual orientation, disability or age and to restoring the health of the planet for future generations.

Our Mission

The Foundation’s mission is change not charity. We support projects and organisations that empower people to challenge the policies, institutions and attitudes that foster inequality. We also support work for a sustainable future. Our grant programs work for social change to create an equitable distribution of wealth and power and a healthy and sustainable environment. We seek to inspire others to work with us to grow social change philanthropy.

 

Recent Changes to Our Grant Making

Due to the global economic downturn, Reichstein Foundation is not currently able to accept unsolicited applications for grants. We are using our diminished funds to fulfil our commitments to existing projects and partner organisations. Please do not submit grant applications until further notice.
