Our Commitment to Racial and Health Equity
The Atlantic Philanthropies has long championed racial and health equity—two of the biggest social issues that continue to be faced globally. In the past four decades, our grantmaking has included particular focus on racial equity in the United States and South Africa and health equity in the US, Cuba, South Africa, and Viet Nam. Learn more about Atlantic's work in these areas, and how the legacy of our commitment will continue long after we close our doors.
