The Merritt Matrix wouldn't exist without the generosity of our incredible sponsors and community supporters. Every event, every device, every moment of connection made possible through our nonprofit is a direct result of your belief in our mission. These companies and individuals are more than donors, they’re partners in giving nonverbal children a voice, helping families feel seen, and creating a future where communication has no barriers. We’re proud to recognize and celebrate the people who make our work possible.
