Craig Newmark: The Man Behind Craigslist and His Mission for Good

On the latest episode of the Reaching Higher Podcast, we feature Craigslist founder, Craig Newmark. Guided by his tech nerd instincts and childhood lessons, including Sunday school and treating others well, Newmark has committed hundreds of millions of dollars through the his foundation — Craig Newmark Philanthropies — to support a diverse range of organizations. His full-time philanthropic work includes bolstering trustworthy, nonpartisan journalism, protecting the country against cyber threats, championing women in technology, and providing vital support to veterans and military families.

By empowering grassroots organizations, Craig demonstrates his belief in giving away his own personal wealth rather than accumulating it with the ultimate goal of fostering a society built on fairness, opportunity, and respect. Please join us as we explore the motivations behind his mission and his vision for a stronger, more informed society.
