Our Story

Vision for a Better Future

Inspired by his personal experience, Matthew Reeds co-founded the Reeds Fund in 2019 to support young adults with autism and their families.

 

A Family's Journey

Matthew's younger sister, My'zaaih, was diagnosed with autism at a young age. His mother, Roxanne Reeds, a retired educator and former Foster Family of the Year, has been a lifelong advocate for individuals with disabilities.

 

Building a Community of Support

While pursuing a career in finance, Matthew's passion for helping others led him to create the Reeds Fund. The organization is dedicated to providing resources, promoting neurodiversity, and advocating for the rights of young adults with autism.

 

A Shared Mission

Matthew's wife, Melanie Reeds, a special education professional, joined him in his efforts. Together, they've worked tirelessly to expand the Reeds Fund's reach and impact.

 

Empowering Young Adults

Through programs like the Roxanne Reeds Scholarship and the Perry Hall Entrepreneurship Program, the Reeds Fund is helping young adults with autism achieve their goals and build fulfilling lives.
