Rikka Holiday

Raised in Bozeman, Montana, Rikka got her start by teaching golf locally and fell in love with connecting with people as they learn a new skill. She attended Gustavus Adolphus College in Minnesota and earned a degree in history. Rikka has a decade of experience in client services, primarily in the software sector. With a background in translating technology for learners at all levels, she is passionate about making the world a better place through technology. Rikka joined Foundant in early 2020, finding the connection to the philanthropic sector a perfect match for her values. Working with funders and supporting them through their use of Grant Lifecycle Manager (GLM) and Scholarship Lifecycle Manager (SLM) gives Rikka a profound sense of fulfillment. Rikka also enjoys reading historical fiction, baking sourdough bread, and hitting the links whenever the Montana weather cooperates. Areas of expertise: family and private foundations, data collection best practices, administrator and applicant workflow efficiencies, and translating technology to foster understanding.
