Schnitzer Cares: Student Grantmaking is one of the largest youth-led grantmaking programs in the country. The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation puts students in charge of spending millions on community projects—their way. It’s grassroots philanthropy in action.

The Harold & Arlene Schnitzer CARE Foundation is committed to lasting impact through collaboration with leading institutions. Each initiative is a strategic investment in programs where we believe our efforts can make the most significant difference—from education, health care and social services to arts and culture.
