Atlantic Fellows

One of our final and biggest bets is the Atlantic Fellows^® program, empowering new generations of leaders to work together around the globe to advance fairer, healthier, more inclusive societies.

Atlantic Fellows are dynamic emerging leaders with innovative ideas and the courage, conviction, and capacity to bring lasting improvements to their communities and the world. Fellows work together across disciplines and borders to tackle some of today’s most pressing issues: systemic inequality and racial equity; barriers to full participation in democracy; and major health challenges such as dementia and a lack of access to care.

The Fellows programs include:

• Atlantic Fellows for Equity in Brain Health based at The Global Brain Health Institute at Trinity College Dublin and the University of California, San Francisco
• Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity in Southeast Asia based at The Equity Initiative at the China Medical Board in Bangkok
• Atlantic Fellows for Social and Economic Equity based at the International Inequalities Institute at the London School of Economics and Political Science
• Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity in South Africa based at TEKANO
• Atlantic Fellows for Social Equity based at The University of Melbourne
• Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity based at Columbia University in New York City and the Nelson Mandela Foundation in Johannesburg
• Atlantic Fellows for Health Equity based at the George Washington University Health Workforce Institute

The Atlantic Institute, based in Oxford and operated by the Rhodes Trust, serves as a convening and knowledge-sharing hub for the global network of Atlantic Fellows.

The Atlantic Philanthropies’ investments in the Atlantic Fellows will total more than $740 million over the next two decades, building a global network of thousands of Atlantic Fellows and supporting the institutions that nurture them. These investments build upon the issues and in places that have been central to the foundation’s work.
