Direct peers

• Birch Family Services: Birch Family Services is a NYC-based nonprofit serving children and adults with developmental disabilities through education, day programs, and recreation. Comparable to SNACK in NYC focus and lifespan disability programming, particularly in adult services.
• The Hawthorne Foundation: Hawthorne Foundation is a NY-based nonprofit serving individuals with developmental disabilities, where founder Jackie Ceonzo served 20 years as VP of the Board. Directly connected to SNACK and operating in the same participant population.
• Quality Services for the Autism Community (QSAC): QSAC is a major NYC-based nonprofit providing education, residential, and recreational services to children and adults with autism. It is the most directly comparable peer — overlapping geography, mission, and participant population, with both organizations competing for the same NYC autism family market.
• The GRACE Foundation: The GRACE Foundation is a NYC-based nonprofit providing arts, dance, and recreational programs for children with special needs. SNACK dance instructor Jenna Pelusio previously taught at GRACE, evidencing direct overlap in the NYC adaptive arts programming space.

Broad incumbents

• AHRC New York City: AHRC NYC provides a comprehensive range of services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across NYC. SNACK's exercise instructor Andre Ardito previously worked at AHRC, evidencing direct market overlap in job training and disability programming.
• YAI (Young Adult Institute): YAI is one of the largest NYC-area nonprofits serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities across a broad portfolio (housing, education, employment, recreation). It overlaps with SNACK on the 21+ young adult programming and recreational services, but at significantly greater scale and scope.
• ADAPT Community Network: ADAPT (formerly UCP of NYC) is a large NYC-based nonprofit providing services for people with cerebral palsy and other disabilities, including adult day programs and recreation. Comparable to SNACK in mission and geographic market but at significantly larger scale.
• Easterseals: Easterseals is a national nonprofit network providing disability services including recreation, education, and therapy. SNACK's mission, lifespan programming, and small-group instructional approach parallel Easterseals' recreational offerings, though at much smaller scale.
• The Arc of New York: The Arc of NY is a statewide chapter of The Arc providing advocacy, recreation, and family support for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It overlaps with SNACK's family/caregiver support and adult programming missions.

Others

• NEXT for Autism: NEXT for Autism is a national nonprofit funding innovative autism programs and appeared as the (likely grant/donor) partner in SNACK's 2026 funding record. It is comparable as a funder/partner within the autism nonprofit ecosystem rather than a direct service competitor.
