Board of Trustees Discretionary Grants
Each Hill-Snowdon Foundation Trustee has a designated amount for awarding discretionary grants each year. These grants are typically made in the personal interests of each board member and are therefore outside of the Hill-Snowdon Foundation’s regular program areas. Unsolicited applications for these grants are not accepted.
