Foundation Purpose

The Mark Raeder Forever Foundation (“MRFF”) was established to honor the legacy of Mark A. Raeder, who unexpectedly and tragically passed away on March 25, 2025, leaving a legacy of love, kindness and commitment to sustainability. His Foundation honors a man who could meet anyone where they were — high or low — and who embodied the guiding principle of the company he co-founded that "well done is better than well said." MRFF embodies these principles by supporting practical, results-oriented programs that create tangible benefits to people's lives.
