PROFILE: The Snyder Family Foundation was established in 2007 by Randy and Susan Snyder. Based in suburban Los Angeles, the foundation lacks transparency and does not maintain a website, which makes it difficult to locate further information on its priority areas and grantmaking strategies. Tax filings suggest the Snyder Family Foundation primarily funds grantmaking related to arts and culture, Jewish causes, health, and youth organizations. 

Grants for Community Development, Arts and Culture, and Jewish Causes

While the foundation does not appear to have formal grantmaking programs, it does fund groups within the greater Los Angeles area, particularly those that support youth and the arts. It also supports Jewish causes in the area. The Snyders are heavily involved with their local Temple Judea in Tarzana, which they steadily support.

Past grantees include Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles, Geffen Playhouse, Tower Cancer Research Fund, Boys and Girls Club San Pedro, Baby2Baby, and Los Angeles Philharmonic.
