Mission Statement

The Mattie J.T. Stepanek Foundation is a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization created in 2005 to continue the work of the late teen poet and peace activist, Mattie J.T. Stepanek. During Mattie’s “almost 14 years” of life, he penned seven NY Times Bestselling books of “Heartsongs” poetry and ”Just Peace” essays, and served as an ambassador for many peace and disability-related organizations. Mattie died in 2004 due to complications of a rare neuromuscular disease.

About This Cause

The mission of the Mattie J.T. Stepanek Foundation is to connect people to Mattie's messages of "peace, purpose, play!" in ways that help rebuild the shattered mosaic of. humanity. We spread Mattie's message of hope and peace through educational and recreational programs, activities, and resources that support an understanding of peace for individuals and communities, and for our world. We encourage peacemaking as a deliberate choice. We celebrate Mattie's belief that "We have, we are, a mosaic of gifts, to nurture, to offer, to accept." Like Mattie, we believe that "Peace is for all people!" and that "Peace is possible!"
