ACF HOMEWelcome to the Atkinson Foundation's Website Our mission is to "promote social and economic justice in the tradition of our founder, "Joseph E. Atkinson. In the categories of health, social welfare, economic justice and education the Foundation has granted more than $65 million since its inception. The Atkinson Charitable Foundation is committed to achieving lasting change that transforms people’s lives. Through our grant making, we support innovative thinkers, leaders and organizations that are working to reduce poverty and promote the values of democracy through the active and engaged participation of the public. When making grants we think about the long term strategies. Because our mission is broad and our resources are limited we carefully target our support so that it can be used more effectively and leverage the greatest amount of impact. In 2012, the Atkinson Charitable Foundation will focus on the following priority areas over the next 2 years:
Please see our Grant Making Case Statement for additional information. Please note that given our priorities and committed resources in 2012, we are not accepting unsolicited applications.
