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 “Replace Hate with Understanding, Compassion & Acceptance” through its varied educational, outreach and advocacy programs and by continuing to tell Matthew’s story. Matthew Shepard Foundation operates as a non-profit organization. The Organization provides support and equality to lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender youth as well as communities. Matthew Shepard Foundation serves customers in the United States.
