Scope and content
This collection includes the corporate and grant making records of The Atlantic Philanthropies as well as the operational records of many of its executives and program officers. Grant files constitute a majority of the collection, and contain records that document the entire life cycle of grants—from proposals to final reports. Regardless of the office where they were kept, grant files are arranged by geographic area of impact in order to ease searchability. These files are supplemented with program files kept by Atlantic staff, which shed further insight on Atlantic’s grant making, and the grantee organizations, geographic locations, and program areas represented. These files are arranged by the geographic location of the office where they were kept. Also noteworthy are records that document Atlantic’s operations, particularly the decision to go public, becoming a limited life foundation, and embracing Chuck Feeney’s “Giving While Living” philosophy. The collection includes both paper and electronic files.
