The Ian Potter

Foundation

The Ian Potter Foundation is one of Australia's leading private philanthropic organisations. The Foundation has a track record of funding projects led by far sighted individuals and organisations that improve the Australian community's ability to respond creatively to social, environmental, science and health issues, and that develop our capacity as a nation through the arts and education.

Since its establishment in 1964, The Ian Potter Foundation has funded projects which advance the frontiers of knowledge in many areas. For example, Sir Ian Potter was instrumental in the establishment of the Howard Florey Institute and the development of the Academy of Science. The Ian Potter Foundation seeks to keep the visionary and entrepreneurial spirit of Sir Ian Potter alive through the forward thinking projects it supports through its grant program.
