Snap Foundation is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization based in the Greater Los Angeles

area. Created in 2017, the Snap Foundation’s mission is to develop pathways to the

creative economy for underrepresented youth in Los Angeles. Snap Inc. and its two

founders, Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy, have generously pledged lasting financial

Inc. To date, the Snap Foundation's primary focus has been researching and funding

strategic projects and initiatives related to its mission.
