About MBF
The Matt Brown Foundation was founded by Matt Brown and his family as a way to give back. Knowing all too well of the challenges that an individual and family face with a diagnosis like paralysis, meant it was time to be there for others, like so many were there for them.
Launching in June 2020 meant having to navigate the pandemic, but the support system that was behind Matt for so many years made their way over to support the foundation. In the years that have followed, the impact that the Matt Brown Foundation has been able to have on those battling paralysis has grown exponentially. Through events like our Golf Tournament, the Boston Marathon, and the Falmouth Road Race, our fundraising efforts have allowed the foundation to surpass $300,000 in grants to individuals battling paralysis, in the forms of handicap accessible vehicles, bathroom renovations, home modifications, and pieces of equipment for the individual.
While we celebrate the remarkable achievements since our launching, it's crucial to reflect on the profound impact of each grant awarded by the Matt Brown Foundation. Behind every grant lies an individual whose life has been irrevocably altered by paralysis. With nearly 18,000 spinal cord injuries occurring annually, the demand for support continues to escalate, underscoring the ongoing need for organizations like ours.
The mission of the Matt Brown Foundation to be there for groups, individuals, and families battling paralysis has not and will not change, as we strive to make someone’s day a little bit easier than the day before.
