Ian Potter: Financier, Philanthropist and Patron of the Arts

Providing insight into the prominent businessman who set up the largest philanthropic trust in Australia, this biography explores both the personal and business successes and failures of Ian Potter and examines the contrast between the measured control of his public and private lives. Using his influence with state and federal governments to reform tax laws to encourage private philanthropy, the Ian Potter Foundation has given millions of dollars to support worthwhile projects in the fields of education, the arts, the environment, sciences, medicine, and health.
