The atlantic Philanthropies
Investments in Dublin

Mission The Atlantic Philanthropies are dedicated to bringing about lasting changes in the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people.5 We have made grants totalling more than $6.5 billion as of the end of 2013. We also seek to encourage others of significant wealth to engage in major philanthropic pursuits in their lifetime.
To these ends, we will become the largest foundation in history to conclude our grantmaking in our donor's lifetime. Giving While Living In keeping with the Giving While Living philosophy of our founder, so they are less likely to become larger, we believe in making large investments to capitalise on significant opportunities to solve urgent problems now, Charles "Chuck" Feeney, more entrenched and more expensive challenges later. We are committed to achieving these outcomes by supporting exceptional leaders and organisations to make lasting improvements in the lives of people who have been denied these opportunities and rights. We are active in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and the United States . We made our final grants in Australia in 2011, and in Bermuda, South Africa and Viet Nam in 2013.
What We Believe At the heart of our work is the belief that all people have the right to opportunity, equity and dignity. As a limited life foundation, Reconciliation & Human Rights, Population Health, Children & Youth, we make grants through our Ageing, and Founding Chairman Programmes. Lasting Changes For more than 30 years, Atlantic has made grants to advance opportunity and lasting change for those who are unfairly disadvantaged or vulnerable to life's circumstances. We will distribute our entire endowment and close our doors by 2020.
