All the grantees had previously received funding from Atlantic Philanthropies confirming the Foundation’s plans to largely continue funding under the same themes and to support organisations previously supported before it winds down.
The Dementia Services Trust was given a grant of $941,000 to improve the lives of dementia sufferers and influence policy. Other grants went to the Ageing Well Network and Colin Knox for evaluation work.
