What Matters outreach

Global reach, local love.

Providing financial and inspirational support of individuals and their causes, passions & dreams.

Everyone has a dream. What Matters was created to offer a variety of ways to encourage those brave enough to pursue theirs.

From supporting non-profit endeavors to helping those in financial duress, What Matters Outreach financially supports local causes as well as national and global altruistic efforts and passions.

In addition to financial support, encouragement and inspiration is offered to those who are working to make the world a better place or creating their lives to be more fulfilling.

Fundraising Campaign!

Check out the current fundraising campaign for the expansion of the FRONT ROYAL LIGHT UP ACADEMY primary school in the remote village of Bunyade in Uganda! Beth committed to a matching campaign up every dollar up to $12,500 which is extended for this phase of the construction. She and Light up Life completed a two room school  and latrines in 2018 but it’s so popular that 200+ children travel for miles to attend!  It needs an addition to accommodate the kids as they age–our dream is to finish construction of two new classrooms each year so that those graduating from the existing grades have  a place to continue to thrive until they are in 8th grade (which is the grade the closest decent existing school starts).
