We are pleased to announce that Foundation Source CEO Joe Mrak has been named as a finalist in the Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 New York program. This list recognizes visionary leaders who are shaping what’s next—transforming industries and building the future of business.
A Full Circle Moment
“I am incredibly honored to be recognized as a finalist in the prestigious Entrepreneur Of The Year® 2026 New York program,” said Joe. “It’s great to see the hard work the team has done at Foundation Source to drive innovation and impact in philanthropy get recognized as well. I’m looking forward to continuing the process and hoping to come on top as a winner! It’s even more special to me as I started my career with EY back in Chicago in 1994.”
About Entrepreneur Of The Year
The Entrepreneur Of The Year program celebrates bold leaders who disrupt markets, build category-defining companies and transform industries—while uplifting communities.
Founded in 1986, the program recognizes original founders who bootstrapped their business from inception or who raised outside capital to grow their company; transformational CEOs who sparked innovation and propelled established organizations to new heights; and multigenerational family business leaders who reimagined a legacy business to fortify it for generations to come.
The New York program includes Connecticut and New York. Independent judges select regional finalists and winners, with regional winners advancing to national competition in November.
