The Matthew Shepard Foundation is a brand that is dedicated to promoting diversity and equality for all individuals. Their mission is to honor the life of Matthew Shepard, who tragically lost his life in a hate crime, by inspiring individuals, organizations, and communities to embrace the dignity and equality of all people. Through their local, regional, and national outreach efforts, they empower individuals to create change and challenge hate in schools, neighborhoods, and homes.

The Foundation works to change hearts and minds by sharing Matthew's story and highlighting the importance of standing up for the LGBT community. They have been instrumental in pioneering the country's first federal hate crimes legislation and providing hate crimes training to law enforcement officers and prosecutors. Although their ultimate goal is to close their doors, the Foundation recognizes that there is still work to be done.

They will continue to tirelessly advocate for the safety, visibility, and inclusiveness of the entire LGBT community until their vision becomes a reality. Donate today to support their important work and help make a difference in the fight against hate
