What Snow Approach Foundation Inc does
Mission
We exist to inspire hope, save lives, and improve quality of life for people living with brain changes caused by dementia or another brain condition and the community as a whole.
As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.
Programs
Engagement - We have conducted over 100 complimentary Brain Connection Cafes over the past year, serving between 15 and 90 people per session average of 20 on Mondays and 45 on Fridays, depending on the week and session. We have conducted over 35 additional complimentary special programs within the Hillsborough County regional area to heighten community awareness of brain change and opportunities for families and people living with dementia to engage in community life and activities. Community members have used the space to offer Art classes, music sessions, death cafes, church programs, teen events, line dancing, improve classes, and more. Neuronation offered free PT classes over 12 Fridays following the Brain Cafe. Teepa offered 50 Care Partner Education Sessions on Fridays 11-12p. We have served on multiple boards and committees to engage with the community of change. See Schedule O for more specifics.
$113,779 spent51% of program spendingTrainings - We have offered 60 complimentary knowledge and skill sessions for families, individuals, or organizations at the SAF Hillsborough location or at their preferred location. We have enhanced Positive Approach to Care Certifications by holding them onsite and inviting in local teachers both living with brain change and their partners to support education and practice. This work has engaged national and international visitors through 16 Certification Courses held at SAF and 10 full-day Skills Trainings. We have provided training for Orange County EMS, Duke and UNC Nursing programs, financial advisors, and more. We are beginning to use videos to expand training beyond the in-person people so that this work can benefit the global community.

The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2022, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2022, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2022 to 2023, from $24k to $457k (+1767%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
75% of Snow Approach Foundation Inc’s revenue is contributions — more donation-reliant than the typical peer (62% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 0 of the last 3 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

Who funds it, year by year
2022 → 2023: the base broadened from 1 funder to 3 funders, grant income rose $27k → $47k.
5 of 8 of your funders are donor-advised or pass-through sponsors (tagged DAF) — 29% of grant dollars received. That money is really individual donors directing a sponsor; the institutions to cultivate are the non-DAF funders.
From the IRS filings of Snow Approach Foundation Inc’s funders (the co-funder graph). Association, not causation. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
How concentrated its funding is
Snow Approach Foundation Inc leans on a few funders — its largest provides 55% of grant income and the top three 79%; half comes from just 1 funder.
the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
83% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund Snow Approach Foundation Inc.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2022 100% · 2023 75% — diversifying over time.
“Effective funders” = inverse Herfindahl index (1 / Σ shareᵢ²) — the number of equal-sized funders that would give the same concentration. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
Where its funders are
80% of Snow Approach Foundation Inc's grant income comes from North Carolina funders.
In-state vs out-of-state, by year
Funder states come from each funder’s own filing. $43k arriving through sponsors registered in 5 states is excluded from the map and the split above: a sponsor holds money on a donor’s behalf, so its registered address would place those dollars somewhere no donor need ever have been. Trends are read to FY2023, the last fiscal year that has finished arriving. FY2024–FY2026 are still being filed and are shown unshaded; they do not move any figure on this page.
