Our people

Richard Higgins was educated at MIT (BS in Metallurgy) and Northwestern University (PhD in Materials Science).  His career was spent at University of Oregon (Professor of Physics) and Georgia Tech (Professor of Electrical Engineering, Director of Microelectronics Research Center).  Now retired, his activities focus on philanthropy and due diligence, evaluating the efficiency and effectiveness of potential partner organizations working around Atlanta and around the world.

Founders

Mundito Foundation was established by Margaret Graff and Richard Higgins in 2007 to amplify their charitable giving potential and share the fun with their friends. In 2021 we closed Mundito Foundation and converted to a giving group, Team Mundito, for two additional projects.  The Mundito spirit lives on in our continuing philanthropic work.

Margaret Graff was educated at DePaul University (BS in Physics) and University of Oregon (MS PhD in Physics).  Following six years in academic physics, she moved to financial planning (CFP CAP ChFC CLU APMA) and is now a Private Wealth Advisor with Ampere Wealth Management, a private wealth advisory service of Ameriprise Financial LLC.
