The Matthew Wright Foundation was established in 2019 and is guided by its efforts to keep his memory and spirit alive. The foundation’s mission is three-fold: 1. Let people know that you are an organ donor. Modern medicine is impressive and there are no words to describe the gift of a lifesaving or life-changing organ. The Matthew Wright Foundation strives to educate others about the importance of discussing your choice with others. Simply stated, we encourage organ donation and want you to let people know about your decision. Lives depend on it. 2. Animal welfare - Matthew was a big advocate for animals. He repeatedly commented on how many dogs needed homes. He adopted his canine best friend, Sprite, from the local Boise animal shelter. The week before Matthew passed away, he was trying to convince his mother to get another dog. The foundation will honor Matthew by donating to organizations and shelters supporting animal welfare. 3. Matthew Wright Scholarship Fund - as a graduating senior, Matthew was excited to go to college. Sadly, he passed away before getting the chance to attend. The Matthew Wright Foundation has established a college scholarship fund to help high school students with some of the expenses associated with going to college. Even in death, Matthew is making a difference in this world. Thank you for your interest in his story and The Matthew Wright Foundation.
