Where every person has no limits
“We are so thankful for this donation! Without No Limits Cafe, adults with disabilities like myself cannot keep working! Thank you so much for helping us make this possible!”
ANGELA ROSELLO—SERVER, NO LIMIT CAFE
Each year, the Mariner Foundation’s Giving Gift Award recognizes a team that exemplifies what this foundation is all about. In 2025, that honor went to our Manasquan, NJ team, who submitted over 20 grants totaling nearly $100,000 back to their community in 2024 alone. They directed their $25,000 award toward a cause they believe in deeply and are personally connected to: No Limits Cafe.
No Limits Cafe was founded on the belief that every person, regardless of disability, has worth and value in our world. Their work focuses on helping adults with intellectual disabilities find meaningful employment—not just any job, but roles that bring real value to both the individual and the employer. Through job training, empowerment and visibility, they are changing how employers think about this community and inspiring the next generation of leaders to do the same.
The Mariner Foundation grant supports general operating expenses, helping No Limits Cafe continue the day-to-day work of building a more inclusive workforce.

“I am truly appreciative of the $25,000 grant check that we were able to present to the No Limits Cafe. My niece works there, and I’ve personally seen how far she has come through the hands-on job training the cafe provides. The confidence, skills, and opportunities they give their team are truly inspiring. I know these funds will be put to great use helping continue the incredible work they do for so many people.”

What Makes Us Different
100% associate-funded. Dollar for dollar.

Associates opt in
Giving starts with our people. Associates choose how they want to contribute.
Mariner matches every dollar
Every associate contribution is matched dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact.
Associates direct the giving
Associates nominate the causes and organizations they care about.

Who We Are
The Mariner Foundation
The Mariner Foundation was established in 2009 to broaden Mariner’s community impact—bringing associates together under one common theme: to whom much is given, much is expected. Our mission is to positively impact the lives of many in the communities where our associates live and work.
What makes our model distinctive is that it has always been associate-driven. From the very first year, the causes we support have been guided by the passions of our people.


“What our associates have built through the Mariner Foundation is extraordinary, and I do not use that word lightly. Caring for others is not something we invented as a culture initiative. It has always been in the DNA of this firm, and this foundation is the proof.”
MARTY BICKNELL—CEO, MARINER
Beyond Our Foundation
The net positive consortium
Mariner is a proud member of the Net Positive Consortium—a community of financial services firms committed to being a net positive force in the world. Membership means holding ourselves accountable not just to our clients, but to our communities, our people and the broader society we serve.
The Consortium’s framework challenges member firms to measure and improve their total impact across environmental, social and economic dimensions, going beyond compliance to actively contribute more than they take.
Every grant, every volunteer hour and every dollar matched is how we show up as a net positive participant in the communities where we operate.



A message from our President
At the end of our lives, the only question left to be asked will be: What kind of legacy did you leave?
Katrina Radenberg
Mariner Foundation Board President
We’re just getting started.
Our heartfelt thanks to every associate for everything you made possible in 2025—and all that’s still to come. The ripples from this work extend further than we’ll ever fully know.
