Strategic Philanthropy – Leadership Insights
13 Oct 2015
In August 2015, Christopher G. Oechsli, President and CEO of The Atlantic Philanthropies visited Australia to discuss the foundation’s work. Atlantic, a limited-life foundation that will make its final grants by the end of 2016 and will close its doors by 2020, has so far distributed A$10 billion, including A$590 million in Australia. Atlantic’s visit also allowed Chris Oechsli to discuss founding chairman Chuck Feeney’s philosophy and practice of Giving While Living with a significant number of prominent Australians.
The collective insights of the philanthropic, academic, non-profit and business leaders Koda and Atlantic brought together were extraordinarily valuable. This paper distils and disseminates the philanthropic wisdom those present shared at a series of private events, for the benefit of a wider audience.
