The Nyce Foundation is more than philanthropy—it’s a deeply personal mission, rooted in Matthew’s lifelong passion for cultivating community and living by the Golden Rule: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (Luke 6:31). This belief in kindness, generosity, and shared responsibility has guided every step of his journey, beginning in 2018 with his “Dearest Neighbor” project—a heartfelt initiative that set the foundation for the work Nyce Foundation does today.

What started as a handcrafted letter, distributed throughout the community to inspire generosity and connection, has grown into a full-scale movement. This simple act of encouragement evolved into a Pay It Forward system, inspiring individuals to uplift one another, creating a ripple effect of goodwill and opportunity.

Through strategic giving, community development, and hands-on initiatives, the Nyce Foundation continues this mission—whether by funding education, supporting small businesses, providing resources for those in need, or fostering a culture of mutual aid and compassion. We believe in the power of one act of kindness to spark a chain reaction of positive change.

The Nyce Foundation isn’t just about giving—it’s about building a future where generosity is a way of life, and communities thrive together.
