Feeney founded The Atlantic Philanthropies in 1982, and in 1984, having made provision for each of his children and his first wife, as well as a very modest provision for himself, transferred the bulk of his wealth to the foundation.
As of October 2012, Atlantic has made grants totaling more than $6.2 billion since 1982 and plans to spend its remaining $1.3 billion by 2016. [13] The Atlantic Philanthropies grant-making supports health and social projects in Australia, Bermuda, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, South Africa, the United States and Vietnam. It is one of the largest charitable donors in each of the countries in which it operates, [14] and is the single largest funder of ageing and of comprehensive immigration reform in the United States.
In December 2011, The Atlantic Philanthropies committed a $350 million gift to help build the campus for Cornell University’s new high-tech graduate school on Roosevelt Island in New York City. [10
