Description
The Snave Foundation Basic Grant provides small-scale support—up to $1,000—to eligible U.S. not-for-profit organizations whose work aligns with the ideals, values, and standards of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers). The program is designed to foster originality and innovation, supporting projects such as libraries, building or renovation efforts, scholarships, outreach, and programs serving the poor or elderly. Each application must be sponsored by a member of the Snave family, and the selection process is overseen by the Foundation’s Grants Committee. The Basic Grant is part of the Foundation’s mission to support charitable and educational initiatives that reflect Quaker principles.
