SNACC Receives $80,000 Grant from Ford Foundation's Good Neighbor Committee
SNACC, a New York City nonprofit focused on food education and youth development, has received an $80,000 grant from the Ford Foundation’s Good Neighbor Committee. The funding will support SNACC in expanding its programs that use hands-on cooking to teach life skills such as teamwork, problem-solving, communication, and perseverance among young people. During the 2025–2026 program year, SNACC reached nearly 2,000 youth through partnerships with schools like Bronx Lacrosse and PS/MS 108 School of the Authors. The organization also prepared over 14,000 meals as part of its educational initiatives. In addition to in-school programs, SNACC has developed leadership opportunities for older students, including career exposure events at companies such as McKinsey & Company. The grant will help sustain and grow these efforts during the upcoming school year and beyond by supporting after-school programming, family-based initiatives, and workforce-readiness experiences.
