The John Ben Snow Foundation's mission is to support tax-exempt organizations primarily serving Central New York, focusing on closing the opportunity gap for under-resourced individuals. The foundation prioritizes educational programs that offer educational opportunities or academic assistance to individuals who demonstrate an intellectual aptitude and a financial need. Established in 1948, it aims to improve the quality of life within Central New York through various program areas.
The grant program of The John Ben Snow Memorial Trust is designed with the primary goal of supporting educational initiatives that provide academic assistance and opportunities to individuals with intellectual aptitude and financial need. This includes scholarships, fellowships, academic tutoring, or counseling, literacy programs, and journalism initiatives. Secondary focus areas include Arts and Culture, which promotes arts education and appreciation; Community Initiatives, aimed at improving the quality of life within specific geographic areas by supporting libraries, food pantries, shelters, and neighborhood revitalization (excluding healthcare initiatives or animal welfare programs); and Youth Programs, which provide character education or enrichment opportunities. Additionally, the Trust considers proposals in the areas of Disabilities and Universal Access, Environmental, and Historic Preservation, with a preference for proposals that have an educational focus. Priority is given to projects within their core areas of interest, and funding for proposals outside of these core areas may be limited.
