Charles Feeney Obituary, Founder Of The Atlantic Philanthropies Has Peacefully Passed Away

Charles Feeney Obituary, Death – The Atlantic Philanthropies founder Charles Chuck Feeney is mourned by the Atlantic Institute. We honor his generosity, vision, and legacy. His family, friends, and wife Helga sorrow. Chuck placed one last big Atlantic Fellows bet.

After massive Atlantic Philanthropies grants, the global Atlantic Fellows group devised permanent solutions to reduce inequality and build a fairer, healthier, more inclusive world. He wants the global Atlantic Fellows to solve 21st-century issues. Chuck’s longtime community leaders and Fellows from diverse disciplines and opinions would collaborate across divisions to increase influence locally, regionally, and worldwide. He famously questioned, “But for this community, what?” knowing that collaboration would optimize achievements.

Chuck was humble and welcoming. We all want these attributes, and he transformed the world despite hating the spotlight. The growing Atlantic network has 899 Fellows (741 Global and 158 current) in 80 countries. Over 20 years, 3,500. 125 program and Atlantic Institute staff help the Fellows.

Chuck’s investment will always be appreciated by Fellows and communities globally. With funding from The Atlantic Philanthropies, Atlantic Fellows have won over 300 Atlantic Institute scholarships worth over £1,600,000 to improve health and socioeconomic disparities in communities. Millions received health, COVID-19, and equity information from the grants.

Atlantic Fellows programs financed by the Institute have benefitted over 23,000 people in remote or disadvantaged regions and garnered global recognition.
