The Reichstein Foundation was established by Lance Reichstein in 1970. Since then, under the leadership of his daughter Jill Reichstein, the Foundation has supported thousands of projects alongside other trusts, foundations and individual donors to build social change at scale.

The Reichstein Foundation practices social change philanthropy through partnerships and funding collaborations. We believe that philanthropy in Australia can only be effective if foundations and donors engage in greater collective effort, joint research and more joint funding.

We seek a fair and just society, a thriving democracy, and a sustainable environment. To date, the Foundation has made available more than $17 million in grants to more than 1,600 community organisations and change-makers who are influencing change in these areas.

Within Australian philanthropy there are numerous ways to learn and engage. The challenges facing our nation and environment are complex and profound, and the appetite for collaboration amongst donors across the philanthropic spectrum is making a difference.
