The No Matter What Foundation is proud to celebrate the exceptional contributions of this year’s award recipients, whose tireless dedication and commitment to bettering the lives of others embody the very spirit of our mission.

Our Mission

To inspire hope and contribute to a world where every individual has the opportunity to reclaim their lives. We envision a future where every person seeking recovery from addiction has access to effective treatment, fostering a supportive environment that empowers individuals on their journey to wellness.

Our Impact

15000+

Nights of sober living provided through scholarships,

allowing individuals to attend IOP and outpatient treatment while maintaining a safe, structured living environment

300+

of individuals assisted in finding the right treatment program,

including inpatient, outpatient, and sober living placement

1000s

Narcan kits distributed to individuals, families, and sober living homes

Ongoing partnerships with treatment centers, sober living homes, and recovery-focused employers

Continued post-treatment support, including accountability, guidance, and job assistance

I entered treatment with no financial resources and no safety net. No Matter What helped bridge the gap at the exact moment I needed it most. Today I’m sober, working, and rebuilding my life.

Program Participant

When someone you love is struggling, you feel helpless. The No Matter What Foundation gave us guidance, support, and a real path forward when we didn’t know where to turn.

Family Member

What makes No Matter What different is that they don’t just write a check and disappear. They stay involved, follow up, and genuinely care about long-term recovery. I’ve seen firsthand how many lives they’ve helped change.

Treatment Partner

When I reached out, I had nothing — no money, no place to go, and no idea how I was going to stay sober. The No Matter What Foundation stepped in immediately and helped me get into sober living. They didn’t just help financially — they stayed involved, checked on me, and held me accountable. That made all the difference.
