Atlantic Philanthropies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Atlantic Philanthropies (AP) is a philanthropical organization that seeks "to bring about lasting changes in the lives of disadvantaged and vulnerable people."
Charles F. Feeney (also known as Chuck Feeney), founder of Duty Free Shoppers Group, founded AP in 1982. AP concentrates its donations in four main programs: Ageing, Disadvantaged Children & Youth, Health of Populations in Developing Countries, and Reconciliation & Human Rights.
AP has offices in several countries, including Bermuda, Great Britain, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, the United States of America, and Vietnam.
The group has funded both Community Restorative Justice and The Alternatives in Northern Ireland.[1]
In 2002, AP decided to spend down their entire endowment over the next ten to fifteen years.
