Capitalism from page 12

"We think in three to five years
our concepts will be validated and
more people will be using these
platforms and will understand
that there is a different and bet-
ter way of creating social change
Fisher says. "It's my life aspira-
tion?'
Mission Throttle has a staff of
three, including Fisher.
"But we work on the shoulders
of incredible pioneers like Kellogg,
Kresge and our foundation to
move philanthropy forward. We're
working with 50 to 100 other
organizations," he adds.
"Our family has a great
responsibility that my father has
bestowed on us to not just make
an impact through the Fisher
Foundation, but to literally change
the world based on what he start-
ed. He was a giant in philanthropy,
and I aspire to keep his memory
alive because I really believe that
a man doesn't pass away until his
memory does. He did so many
wonderful things for the com-
munity — Jewish, political and
financial. I'm blessed to be his
son and a member of a wonderful
family?'
Fisher and his wife, Lauren,
have five children, ages 13 to 27.
The next generation of the Fisher
family is already engaged in
philanthropy through the family
foundation.
"The foundation staff has been
wonderful in integrating their
passions about philanthropy,
which sometimes are not the same
as ours, but they are an important
part of our work:' Fisher says. "We
had a next-gen retreat last August,
where the whole family got
together at the Jewish Community
Center and the Federation offices
and talked about what mother and
dad, as founders, expected of us.
I expect my children to be very
beneficial to others in philanthro-
py, and they're doing great.
"I certainly couldn't do any of
this without my mother and four
sisters, who are also doing incred-
ible philanthropic work:' Fisher
says. "And please give full credit
to the Max M. and Marjorie Fisher
Foundation, and the staff led by
Doug Stewart, who is a partner
in everything I do. He's an amaz-
ing man who has made a great
impact?'
