Our Mission

To love one another fiercely and change the world one kindness at a time.


The Matson Family Foundation was founded in 2011 by Mark Matson. He named his wife, Melissa Matson, president of the foundation in 2016, and together they seek out organizations and charities that need financial generosity. The foundation believes in coming together, helping one another, and joining visions to make this world not only a better place, but a renewed place.

GIVING BACK

Most recently, profits from Mark Matson’s new book, Experiencing the American Dream, have been directed toward supporting The Matson Family Foundation’s mission. Through this effort, the Foundation has been able to extend its impact by partnering with select charities that align with its values of empowerment, education, and community enrichment. This initiative not only shares the book’s message of financial freedom and opportunity but also channels its success into meaningful contributions that strengthen the lives of individuals and families across the communities these charities serve.
