Donors
More than 650 individuals and organizations have contributed over $250,000 to the endowment to honor Matt and his own ‘pay-it-forward’ notion of helping someone else get their first break. Matt loved writing, and telling stories. And he had boundless enthusiasm for encouraging others to use their curiosity, diligence, and insight to be, as he put it, “clear-eyed observers and advocates for justice.” Thank you to this remarkable community of donors for encouraging aspiring writers to hone their craft and continue to bring us untold stories that matter.
