DESCRIPTION
A private non-operating family foundation created in 1963 by J.
Seward Johnson, Sr. as a way of furthering his charitable
interests. It is recognized as a not-for-profit organization
under section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code. Upon Mr.
Johnson's death, management and control of the organization
were turned over to J. Seward Johnson, Jr. The Atlantic
Foundation is a grant-giving organization that is free to decide
what charitable organizations to support. It does not directly
participate in charitable activity, although it provides technical
and administrative support to the Johnson Family of
Foundations, including the Sculpture Foundation, the Johnson
Art and Education Foundation, and Eyebeam Atelier. Previous
support enabled the creation of the Grounds for Sculpture and
Harbor Branch Oceanic Institute, as well as funding for many
scientific research projects. The Foundation continues to provide
considerable financial support to many of these organizations in
the form of grants or loans. It encourages the organizations to
develop external sources of funding so that they may pursue
their charitable missions independent of the Atlantic Foundation.
The Atlantic Foundation provides funding to pre-selected
organizations only. Applications are not accepted.
