Mark Carrigan

Mark has spent 30 years as a CEO in the grant-making world — which means he has been, for three decades, exactly the kind of person Raiser is built for on the funder side. He understands how foundations make decisions, what good funder-grantee relationships look like, and what the sector’s infrastructure for giving actually needs to do better.

His involvement in Raiser isn’t advisory in a passive sense. He brings firsthand knowledge of what funders want but can’t currently get — and that shapes how we build the funder-facing side of the product.
