Paul Ramsay Foundation is one of Australia’s largest charitable foundations. The late Paul Ramsay AO established the Foundation in 2006 and, after his death in 2014, left most of his estate to continue his philanthropy for generations to come.
We believe in a world where all people can live their best lives. Our purpose is to help end cycles of disadvantage in Australia by enabling equitable opportunity for people and communities to thrive.
The values upon which we were founded are those of Paul Ramsay. The Foundation is not only a testament to his deep empathy, collaborative spirit and disruptive thinking, it is Paul’s enduring commitment to ensuring all people and communities have the opportunity to thrive.
We value people and honest relationships with our colleagues, partners and peers.
We will always listen with humility to expert advice and personal testimony.
We are not afraid to take risks and fail. We will be bold to create lasting change.
We believe everyone has something to learn and something to contribute. We are informed by evidence and by the learnings and stories of those we support.
We act in a way consistent with our core beliefs, as individuals and as a team.
PRF's Board Directors have extensive experience across business, industry, academia and the not-for-profit sector. They share Paul Ramsay's belief in action: that empathy, collaboration and new thinking can transform people's lives.
