The Cricket Victoria Foundation has extended its strategic partnership with The Phillips Foundation for a further two years, building on their support for programs that create opportunities for young people through cricket.
Building on the inaugural South Asian Culture & Leadership Camp, the partnership will support community consultation and research to better understand the experiences, barriers and aspirations of South Asian communities. These insights will help shape and test future initiatives that strengthen participation, leadership, and belonging through cricket.
The Phillips Foundation is also supporting the Cricket Victoria Foundation with impact measurement capability, helping it understand, evaluate and communicate the outcomes of its programs.
This will allow the Foundation to paint a clearer picture of the difference its initiatives are making, helping future programs continue to respond to community needs and deliver meaningful, long-term benefits.
Cricket Victoria Head of Foundation, Ben Brennan, said:
"We're thrilled to have The Phillips Foundation's continued support for the next two years. It gives us the opportunity to build on the inaugural Culture & Leadership Camp, listen more widely to South Asian communities and shape our next steps around what we learn.
"Alongside its funding, Phillips is helping us strengthen how we understand and measure our impact, so we can make better decisions and create lasting benefits through cricket.
The Phillips Foundation Group Impact Adviser, Ben Clark, said:
"The Phillips Foundation principals, Liz and Anth Phillips are committed to supporting opportunities for young people to build confidence, connection and wellbeing through sport."
"The Phillips Foundation's partnership with the Cricket Victoria Foundation brings this to life through cricket, creating pathways for participation, leadership and belonging.
"We value Cricket Victoria Foundation's commitment to listening to communities and allowing those insights to shape what comes next. By supporting community consultation and strengthening understanding of what matters to young people, we hope to help turn that learning into lasting benefits for young people."
The Cricket Victoria Foundation is committed to creating positive and lasting change through cricket, supporting programs and initiatives that make the game more accessible, inclusive and impactful across the state.
