The Hill-Snowdon Foundation, founded in 1959 by Arthur B. Hill, is a family foundation based in Washington, DC. Over the years, the foundation has evolved from a volunteer-based organization to a strategic grantmaker focused on justice and fairness for low-income families, particularly youth of color and low-wage workers. Their grantmaking efforts center around supporting community organizing, developing leadership skills, and empowering marginalized communities to influence policies that directly impact their lives.
In recent years, the Hill-Snowdon Foundation has expanded its focus to include initiatives such as Making Black Lives Matter and the Defending the Dream Fund, which aim to strengthen Black institutional and political power and support grassroots organizing. With a commitment of $5.5 million over the next 5.5 years, the foundation is dedicated to building a robust infrastructure for Black-led organizing and movement, ensuring that all Black people can thrive in a just and equitable society.
