The Andrew and Molly Snyder Family Foundation concentrates its giving on New York–area Jewish life and Israel-related education alongside substantial support for women's services and domestic violence survivors. Its grants favor repeat, sizable awards to a small set of organizations — funding campus Jewish life, Israel education/relief, Holocaust survivor services, and local programs for women and youth in crisis. The foundation appears to prioritize impact in NYC and on college campuses, often designating funds for specific initiatives like campus climate, youth leadership, and Israel relief.
The Andrew and Molly Snyder Family Foundation’s recent giving shows a tight pattern: repeated support for New York Jewish institutions, Israel-related education and relief, and services for women and families in crisis. Among the clearest signals is its multi-year backing of Sanctuary for Families, including a $100,000 general operating grant in 2025 and another $100,000 grant in 2024, alongside a separate $100,000 award in 2025 for Camp HOPE and Sanctuary’s Youth Leadership Program. The foundation also continues to fund UJA-Federation of New York, with a 2025 grant that included dedicated dollars for Israel relief efforts and a Holocaust survivor initiative. Another recurring relationship is with Hillel The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life, which received both general operating support and a 2025 Campus Climate Initiative grant. Beyond those anchors, the foundation has supported Jewish Community Project of Lower Manhattan, American Israel Education Foundation, Women in Need, Streetwise Partners, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, and the Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. The portfolio suggests a family foundation that uses a mix of unrestricted support and named-purpose grants to back community infrastructure, crisis response, and student-facing programs.
Jewish campus life is one clear thread in the foundation’s grantmaking. Hillel The Foundation for Jewish Campus Life received $75,000 in 2025 for its Campus Climate Initiative, plus $75,000 in general operating support that same year. Israel-related giving appears through both education and relief channels: the American Israel Education Foundation received $65,000 in 2025 for general operating support, and UJA-Federation of New York received a 2025 grant that included $54,000 designated for Israel relief efforts. The foundation also supports survivor services and crisis response in New York. Sanctuary for Families received $100,000 in 2025 for Camp HOPE and Sanctuary’s Youth Leadership Program, while The Jewish Community Project of Lower Manhattan received $18,000 in 2025 for general operating support. Outside the Jewish and Israel-focused portfolio, the foundation backed workforce development through Streetwise Partners’ employment mentoring and job placement services for adults.
