The Snow Foundation acknowledges Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of the land, sea and waters where we live, learn and work. We acknowledge their continuing connection to their culture and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
The Snow Foundation is a family philanthropic foundation founded in Canberra in 1991 by Terry Snow AM and brother George. Our mission is to create opportunities and strengthen resilience for a more caring and inclusive community where everyone can thrive. We do this by identifying gaps, supporting innovative and community-led initiatives with potential for big impact, taking considered risks to help bold ideas become reality and being engaged partners, providing more than funding where we can add value. The Snow Foundation pursues a strategy of further growth and innovation, built on a strong sense of trusted partnerships with communities.
This is an opportunity to join a respected family foundation that continues to innovate and grow its significant impact and support to the for-purpose sector. There are four pillars that guide the Foundation’s giving, Our Place, Our Country, Our Sector and Our Family.
