jordan herskowitz, founder & Executive Director

Driven by the loss of his younger brother Richie in 2007, Jordan founded Richie’s Spirit Foundation to turn personal grief into public impact. For 16 years, Jordan served as Executive Director, steering the organization from a grassroots initiative into a nationally recognized advocate for organ donation.

Under his leadership, the Foundation awarded tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants, mobilized a dedicated community of supporters across the country, and inspired countless individuals to register as organ donors. Jordan’s vision was not only to keep Richie’s memory alive but to ensure his spirit motivated others to live fully, a mission he successfully championed until the Foundation’s operations concluded in 2024.

In addition to his role as Executive Director, Jordan is Creative Director of Jordy Pordy Productions.
