The Snow Foundation is an Australian corporate foundation established by the Snow family to support health, community development, and Indigenous advancement programs primarily in the ACT and NSW regions. The foundation has operated since at least 2010, consistently publishing annual reports and maintaining an estimated giving capacity of approximately $500,000 annually.

The foundation takes a community-focused approach to philanthropy, supporting programs that address health outcomes, community wellbeing, and Indigenous advancement. Based on their long-term annual reporting and consistent giving patterns, they appear to favor sustained relationships with grantees rather than one-off grants, supporting organizations that demonstrate clear community impact in their target regions.
