Howard Lake | 4 November 2014 | News

Atlantic Philanthropies has announced another series of grants in Ireland totalling nearly $36,000,000.
Despite being in its final stages of grant-giving, Atlantic continues to make some of the largest grants in Ireland to charity and community organisations.
The biggest grant went to the Galway University Foundation which received a grant of nearly $14 million (€11 million) for child and family services in Ireland. This brings the total awarded to Galway University to nearly $63 million since 2001.
In Northern Ireland the Community Foundation received $11.6 million for a Human Rights Fund ‘to secure sustainable protection and promotion of human rights by establishing a time bound Northern Ireland Human Rights Fund.’
This latest grant, the largest grant ever made to the Foundation, brings the total grant allocation to the Community Foundation to nearly $21 million (£13 million) since 2006.
Other large grants went to the Health Research Board ($3.7 million) and Immigrant Council of Ireland ($3 million).
Atlantic Philanthropies says it will make its final grants in 2016 and conclude operations in 2020.
