Growing up Maggie had a very good relationship with her openly gay and HIV positive father Kevin Rizer. He lived in Bucks county Pennsylvania, where he raised golden retrievers (having retired) until the time of his death in 1992. Maggie was fourteen. When she began modeling it was extremely important for her to work with AIDS organizations to raise awareness and funds in memory and honor of her father. Maggie worked together with her sister Julia to create an event with DIFFA (design institute foundation funding AIDS). Their event lasted from 2000- 2006 and raised millions of dollars to help others fight this disease. After working so long with DIFFA Maggie feels that working with organizations to help others is something that will always be part of her life. Recently she became an ambassador for Operation Smile, is a vice chairman of New Yorkers for Children and a vice chairman of the ASPCA. She had been working with Alexandra Kerry on a documentary to raise awareness of AIDS in teens, which was put on hold for production reasons. The two plan to continue the making of the film.

Maggie is in the process of writing a memoir in which she discusses life in the fashion industry as well as personal struggles and how she has benefited from them.
