Founded by husband Tom Snyder and daughter Lindsay Stein to provide scholarships to students with financial need majoring in special education or elementary education, or grants to nonprofits.

Linda M. Snyder was a loving wife and mother, and a person who loved life. She will always be remembered for having a heart full of love for her family and friends, and also for the many children whose lives she touched through her 15 year career with Frederick County Public schools as a special education assistant, Autism Cadre team member, and Challenges Program teacher. Her dedication to improving the lives of children with Autism will never be forgotten, and will be carried on through her memorial fund which will provide grants to local nonprofits and scholarships to students with financial need majoring in special education or elementary education.
