The Morgridge Acceleration Program (MAP) Fellowship is the flagship initiative of the Morgridge Family Foundation (MFF), bringing together exceptional leaders committed to addressing pressing issues in the nonprofit sector. The Fellowship harnesses the talents of professionals from diverse backgrounds and experience levels, all united by their ambition to accelerate social impact.

Founded in 2018 by John and Carrie Morgridge, the MAP Fellowship emerged from the couple’s decades of transformative work in the social sector and over $130 million in contributions through MFF. Their entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy revealed a fundamental truth: true innovation requires a combination of diverse perspectives, radical collaboration, and bold creativity. This foundational philosophy continues to guide the selection of MAP Fellows and shapes the Fellowship’s structure.

The MAP Fellowship represents the Morgridge Family Foundation‘s commitment to fostering the next generation of social sector leaders. Through this signature program, MFF continues to adapt and evolve to meet the changing needs of the social sector while maintaining its core mission of accelerating positive change. While the entire Morgridge Family Foundation team contributes to MAP’s success, a dedicated full-time staff member leads its day-to-day operations.
