The Paul Ramsay Foundation is one of Australia's largest philanthropic foundations, established in 2006 by media businessman Paul Ramsay AO and funded by his estate after his death in 2014. The foundation works to stop disadvantage in Australia by investing in, building, and influencing the conditions needed for systemic change, partnering with over 253 organizations across the country.

PRF operates on the belief that disadvantage is systemic and requires addressing underlying conditions rather than just symptoms. They employ a three-pronged approach: Invest (grants and impact investing from early exploration to substantial investment), Build (developing insights, data, knowledge and organizational capability), and Influence (using their platform to amplify voices and positively affect policy). They prioritize evidence-informed work, measure what matters, support innovation, and are committed to community-led, self-determining approaches, particularly for First Nations peoples.
