Matthew Ramsey and his husband expanded their family by adopting two boys through the foster system in Seattle. Despite rampant anti-LGBTQ+ discrimination in the child welfare system across our nation, Matthew and his husband’s experience in Washington state was positive, which enabled them to become a forever family and build lasting bonds. Matthew has long been an advocate for LGBTQ+ equality and joined Family Equality as Chief Development Officer in February 2018. Prior to leading the Family Equality Development Team, Matthew served as Director of Development and Marketing for the Seattle Men’s Chorus and Seattle Women’s Chorus, and previously as Executive Director for the Columbus Gay Men’s Chorus and as a board member for GALA Choruses. Matthew also currently serves on the board of directors for the Association of Fundraising Professionals Advancement Northwest chapter. Matthew has a BA from Capital University and an MBA from Ohio Dominican University.
