Between 1987 and 2014, Atlantic invested over $1.2 billion in the Republic of Ireland to strengthen and grow the higher education system, stimulate a knowledge economy, protect and expand human and civil rights, and fundamentally transform the design and delivery of services for children, older adults and people with disabilities.

• An overview, in numbers, of our investments
• A list of key grantee achievements
• A brief introduction to how Atlantic first began working there
• A description of how Atlantic’s and our grantees’ work, and the fields on which we have focused, have evolved since initiating our work
• An assessment of Atlantic’s most significant contributions within each field
• A meta-assessment of Atlantic’s and grantees’ collective, overall impact to date.
