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. Its Chief executive is Melbourne journalist Sam Lipski and Heloise Waislitz, the Chair.
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.
Launched in 1999, The Production Company, chaired by Jeanne Pratt, produces three musicals each year at The Arts Centre, each running for just six performances after a two week rehearsal period. Biannually since 2002, the company awards the Pratt Prize for Musical Theatre to an unproduced new work; both a cash prize and funding towards a workshop performance.
