The Ian Potter Foundation supports cultural institutions and organisations in Australia which are distinctive in artistic achievement, imagination and innovation and to extend cultural opportunities to regional centres, and encourage the development of arts programs at a local level.

In addition to the above interests, the foundation makes grants to individuals through The Ian Potter Cultural Trust, which is a separate legal entity. Small grants from the Cultural Trust support emerging Australian artists to pursue further studies and nurture their careers in their chosen artistic practice.

The foundation does not support performances, exhibitions or festivals unless there is a special educational focus.
