Patricia H Snyder Family Foundation
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- The foundation makes contributions only to organisations it has preselected and does not accept unsolicited requests, so a cold application is unlikely to be considered; the realistic route is an introduction that could lead to an invitation.
- Its grants are mostly modest: half of its 55 grants to organisations were $10,000 or less, and about 8 in 10 fall between $5,000 and $80,000, a typical band rather than a ceiling, since its largest grant was about $625,000.
- Repeat giving is significant, with 44% of grant dollars going to organisations it had also funded in earlier filings, so an organisation already known to it stands on firmer ground.
- No geographic focus is stated, but most grant dollars went to Indiana recipients, so an Indiana organisation may find the match closer, though that reflects the pattern of past grants rather than a rule.
- Its recipients include Christian schools and ministries, youth and community-service groups, a rescue mission, an arts organisation and an educational institution, so organisations doing similar work will recognise the kind of giving it has backed.

What they fund

Priority Areas
The foundation's recorded grants went to a varied group of charitable organisations. Recipients include a Christian school, Christian ministries, youth and community-service organisations, a rescue mission, an arts organisation and an educational institution receiving support for an endowed scholarship. The stated purposes also include developing Christian leaders around the globe and supporting a philharmonic fund and youth orchestra. Most recorded grant dollars went to Indiana recipients, with smaller awards reaching other US states and the Dominican Republic. Most purposes are recorded simply as charitable contributions, so the filings do not identify a more specific overall funding policy or eligibility criteria.
