The Matthew Shepard Foundation was founded by Dennis and Judy Shepard in memory of their 21-year old son, Matthew, who was murdered in an anti-gay hate crime in Wyoming in October 1998. Created to honor Matthew in a manner that was appropriate to his dreams, beliefs and aspirations, the Foundation seeks to eplace Hate with Understanding, Compassion & Acceptancethrough its varied educational programs and by continuing to tell Matthew story.
OUR VISION: To educate and enlighten others on the importance of diversity, understanding, compassion, acceptance and respect. Everyone must participate in developing solutions to problems that are rooted in ignorance and hatred.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT: To develop diversity programs in education and to help youth organizationsestablish environments where young people can feel safe and be themselves.
