Welcome to

The Ian Potter Foundation

As a leading Australian philanthropic foundation, The Ian Potter Foundation works to uphold the aspirations and principles of our founder, Sir Ian Potter, and ‘give something back’ to the Australian community. The Foundation’s wide ranging funding programs reflect Sir Ian’s interest in the Arts and his visionary approach to key issues including the environment, science, healthy communities, medical research, community wellbeing, and investment in Australia’s intellectual capital.

The Ian Potter Foundation enables organisations to develop ideas and programs that contribute to a healthy, vibrant and progressive nation. We encourage excellence and support Australia’s talent: the visionaries, social entrepreneurs, scientists, academics and researchers, artists and teachers, and those who dedicate themselves to bettering our communities for the benefit of all.

Since 1964, The Ian Potter Foundation has contributed over $150 million to thousands of projects, both large and small. The Foundation is proud of its track record of funding projects that improve our collective ability to respond creatively to key issues and develop our capacity as a nation.
