Who We Are: The Global Atlantic Fellows Community
Resource type: Video
The story behind the Atlantic Fellows begins with Atlantic Philanthropies founder Chuck Feeney, who devoted his entire fortune to philanthropy during his lifetime.
When Atlantic made its concluding grants, the foundation’s board and leadership wanted to make an impactful, lasting difference. They decided that a big, long-term bet would be in keeping with Chuck’s sensibilities of fairness and equity, Giving while Living, and his belief that investing in and bringing people together is an effective, enduring way to help bring health, innovation, and opportunity to millions.
Over the years, the global community of Atlantic Fellows will grow to thousands. Beyond their fellowship year at one of seven programs, fellows have lifelong opportunities to connect, learn, and collaborate, including at the Atlantic Institute in Oxford, UK.
