From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pratt Foundation is an Australian philanthropic organisation established in 1978 by Jeanne and Richard Pratt based in Melbourne, Victoria.
According to its Values Statement, it has "the shared vision of supporting charitable enterprises and adding value to philanthropy". The Pratt Foundation claims to be one of the largest private sources of philanthropy in Australia and contributes heavily towards Israeli causes. Chief executive is Melbourne journalist Sam Lipski.
The Pratt Foundation has also notably funded the environmental group, The Wilderness Society. The Wilderness Society has been outspoken in its efforts to derail a proposed pulp mill from the Tasmanian timber company Gunns, a rival of the packaging cartel Visy.
