Thanks to ongoing generous donations from the Mat-Su Health Foundation (MSHF), a small group of homosexual and transgender activists have been able to target area youth with LGBTQ themed dances, drag queen performances, Unicorn Festivals and regular game nights – all aimed at encouraging gender-confused youth to embrace the belief that they are gay, trans or bisexual.
Last year, the nearly $500 million MSHF doled out nearly $50,000 to the LGBTQ group. This includes $23,150 to bring in hyper-sexualized drag queen dancers to entertain children at an “Underground Pride” event, $15,000 to offer free food and drinks to those who attend their gatherings, $2,500 for an event that featured a gender-bending drag queen motivational speaker, $2,500 for an LGBTQ prom dance and $2,500 for an LGBTQ youth holiday party.
Led by a biological female who now identifies as a man, The Queen’s Guard has become one of the most prominent and influential groups pushing LGBTQ ideology onto Mat-Su children.
In 2025, MSHF also helped advertise the grand opening of The Queen’s Guard office in Palmer. This space serves as ground zero for the group’s work to advance a radical sexual identity agenda in the largely conservative Mat-Su area.
Despite heated public controversy over its funding decisions, the MSHF continues to prop up groups like The Queen’s Guard. In fact, last year The Queen’s Guard brought in more money from the MSHF than nearly 75% of its other 238 grant recipients.
Over the past several years, the MSHF has endured impassioned calls from within the organization to once again allow its members to vote for their representatives on the organization’s powerful governing board of directors. To date, these calls have been dismissed, and all new board members continue to be appointed directly by the existing 13-member board.
Founded in 2005 as the nonprofit branch of Mat-Su Regional Medical Center, the MSHF’s original purpose was to appropriate some of the revenue earned through its partial ownership in the hospital back to the community through grants that improve the health of local residents. While many MSHF initiatives assist many widely supported community programs, the organization’s recent decisions to advance divisive social agendas, while swelling its bottom line has upset residents in the highly conservative Mat-Su.
MSHF owns 35% of the Mat-Su Regional hospital and brings in tens of millions of dollars annually. According to its latest annual report, the organization’s net assets ballooned from $333 million in 2022 to $490 million last year – a $157 million increase.
