The philanthropy industry is known to be a slow adopter of technology. So it’s no surprise that most small to midsize foundations, and their nonprofit counterparts, don’t have a CIO or CTO on their executive team. The MacArthur Foundation, an innovative Chicago funder, and industry giant, isn’t one of them. 

This week Kerrin Mitchel sits down with a friend of the podcast and CIO of the MacArthur Foundation, John Mohr, to learn more about his role at MacArthur, his work toward a universal Common Application, and his advice for current and aspiring technologists and CIOs in philanthropy.
