Snyder Schools of Nursing and Allied Health on the Muhlenberg Campus of the JFK Health System, and 2) the preservation and restoration of Old First Presbyterian Church of Elizabeth, NJ. Alongside these two major initiatives, the Snyder Foundation also maintained a rigorous commitment to advancing scholastic achievement, with a persistent growing emphasis on its scholarships program.
