Matt Foreman is director of Gay & Lesbian and Immigrant Rights programs at the Evelyn & Walter Haas, Jr. Fund. The Fund provides more grant support to LGBT organizations than any non-gay-identified foundation in the nation, awarding more than $31 million over the last five years. Before coming to the Fund, Matt led a national, a statewide and a local LGBT organization—the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (2003 - 2008), the Empire State Pride Agenda (1997-2003), and the New York City Gay & Lesbian Anti-Violence Project (1990-1996). During his tenure at the Task Force, the agency’s budget and staff more than doubled to $10 million and 60, respectively, and it re-established itself as a leading voice for LGBT rights in our nation’s capital. At the Pride Agenda, Foreman led campaigns that delivered a statewide nondiscrimination law, a hate crimes law, over $15 million for LGBT health and human services, and several laws extending equal benefits to the surviving partners of those killed on 9/11. At the Anti-Violence project, he focused the city’s attention on anti-gay violence and won important changes in police training, deployment and responsiveness.  A graduate of NYU School of Law, he is a founder of Heritage of Pride, the organizers of New York City’s annual LGBT pride events, and a former member of the New York City Human Rights Commission.
