Funding Rounds
Current Round | Round 2, 2020 | By invitation only
The Board of The Ian Potter Foundation agreed at its most recent meeting to change its approach to grantmaking for the remainder of 2020. This change is in response to the unfolding health and economic crises caused by the combination of Australia’s devastating bushfires and the COVID-19 pandemic.
This means that the usual funding rounds for September and December 2020 will not open.
Instead, for the remainder of 2020, the Foundation will consider grant applications by invitation only.
