The Ian Potter Foundation is one of Australia's largest philanthropic organizations, established by Sir Ian Potter to support charitable causes across six program areas: Arts, Community Wellbeing, Early Childhood Development, Environment, Medical Research, and Public Health. The foundation operates nationally, making grants to benefit the Australian community through a vision of a fair, healthy, sustainable, and vibrant Australia.

The foundation operates on a vision of creating 'A fair, healthy, sustainable and vibrant Australia.'
