The Gift of Philanthropy and the Power of Change it’s Making in Society Our Host, Lori La Bey talks with the key members of the Richard and Maude Ferry Foundation which is a family foundation deeply rooted in the Catholic tradition, promoting dignity and quality of human life. We will be focusing on three separate organizations focusing on dementia care within the foundation.
Joining Us: Richard Ferry, Quentin Orem, Marilyn Raichle, and Marigrace Becker.
Richard and Maude Ferry were one of many couples who have lived what is often called the “American Dream”. They have walked a blessed and rewarding journey together, from their beginnings in a small, Midwestern college town, to community leaders in Los Angeles and entrepreneurs in a global business. Richard is the Chairman of the Richard and Maude Ferry Foundation. He co-founded Korn Ferry International in 1969, and for more than three decades was instrumental in establishing the firm as the world’s premier provider of executive human capital solutions.

Quentin is a partner with Social Venture Partners which is a philanthropic organization.

Marilyn Raichle, Executive Director of Maudes’ Awards. She became a care partner for her parents, both of whom were developing Alzheimer’s Disease. In 2015, inspired by her mother’s newfound artistic ability, she founded The Art of Alzheimer’s, celebrating the creativity of persons living with dementia and the power of the creative arts to enrich and empower their lives.
Marigrace Becker is the Program Manager of Community Education and Impact at the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center (MBWC) and the Director of the Memory Hub, a new community center operated by MBWC that offers supportive, educational, and social programs for people with memory loss and their families.
