The Atlantic Fellows for Racial Equity (AFRE) is currently seeking applications for its 2022 Fellowship Programme.
AFRE is part of a global network of Atlantic Fellows programmes, supported by the Atlantic Institute, based at Rhodes House at Oxford University in Oxford, England.
The Institute works to amplify the Fellows’ impact in the world through building connections among Fellows and supporting them to exchange and collaborate across programmes.
AFRE builds upon—and reinvigorates— this rich history of exchange by creating a transnational space for leaders to come together to explore, imagine, experiment and build long-term solutions for impactful change. The programme also is informed by the history of Atlantic Philanthropies’ funding in South Africa and the US and its deep commitment to advancing equity in these countries.

The Fellows share the following characteristics. They are:
- Experienced in their field of work with a track record of impact in furthering racial equity
- Proposing work with the potential to significantly advance the development of new policy, institutions and/or narratives for greater equity
- Willing and able to navigate and learn from diversity and complexity on a local and global scale
- Committed to working with and supporting others to achieve individual and collective impact.

- They bring an interest and openness to deep listening and disruption of presuppositions and perspectives.

They are solutions oriented.
Eligibility Criteria
- This programme is for individuals who are committed to achieving equity, have a track record of significant impact, and deeply value dialogue with, and learning from, diverse perspectives and voices as a critical step towards achieving societal transformation.
