About Us

Safe Institutions Initiative

Phillips Foundation’s Safe Institutions Initiative seeks to build the field of child sexual abuse prevention. Our vision is that “no child is abused in institutions meant to protect them.” This program strategy includes:
  • Incubator and accelerator models
  • Grantmaking and technical assistance
  • Understanding data and translating research to action
  • Catalyzing funding and awareness

Child Safeguarding Lab

The Child Safeguarding Lab is an incubator focused on scaling promising, early-stage innovations and interventions that seek to prevent institutional child sexual abuse in the U.S. Selected participants receive seed funding and 18 months of co-created programming with a team of expert advisors and relevant support services.
