A Vision for Giving While Living and Capital Philanthropy

ON GIVING WHILE LIVING
“I see little reason to delay giving when so much good can be achieved through supporting worthwhile causes today.”

-CHUCK FEENEY, FOUNDER OF THE ATLANTIC PHILANTHROPIES

A Vision for Giving While Living

Giving While Living is an entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy, pioneered by Chuck Feeney, by which you actively devote your money and skills to make a difference during your lifetime. You can learn and make adjustments to get the biggest bang—and impact—for your buck.

Interconnection and cross-pollination are trademarks of Atlantic’s grantmaking. Grantees are encouraged to collaborate; ideas are exported; and similar types of projects are funded around the world.

ON CAPITAL PHILANTHROPY
“Good buildings for good minds can make the difference in the lives of a lot of people.”

-CHUCK FEENEY, FOUNDER OF THE ATLANTIC PHILANTHROPIES

A Vision for Capital Philanthropy

This book shows the power of capital investments in people and places—and how buildings can be leveraged into massive social impact.

If done properly, philanthropic support for a building is not the purchase of a product. It’s an investment in enterprise, a long-term underwriting of whatever goes on inside.
