Carrie Morgridge co-founded the Morgridge Family Foundation in 2008 with her husband, John, bringing an entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy and a hands-on leadership style. To date, they have awarded $200 million in grants and, together, ensure the foundation does great work while fostering a positive, empowering culture.

Carrie is an award-winning author of Every Gift Matters: How Your Passion Can Change the World. Her second book, The Spirit of the Trail, recounts her 46-day, 2,774-mile journey with her husband from Canada to Mexico along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Her latest workbook, Courage Money: A Guide to Becoming a Venture Philanthropist, helps people discover their giving style and maximize the impact of their resources.

An avid athlete, Carrie has completed 11 Ironman competitions and typically skis more than 1 million vertical feet each winter. It's not unusual for her to invite partners to brainstorm during a hike, a bike ride, a chairlift conference, or a beach walk. She divides her time among Montana, Colorado, and Florida. They have two adult children and five grandchildren.
