What Edsnaps Inc. does

Edsnaps Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization headquartered in New York City (West New York, NJ mailing footprint; EIN 38-4036706) that delivers STEM and STEAM education, leadership development, and internship programming to underserved youth. Founded in 2017 by neuroscientist Dr. Susanne Cappendijk, the organization began as a three-week pilot at the Bronx Engineering Technology Academy serving seven high school students and has since grown to serve 250+ students annually with a cumulative alumni base exceeding 2,600 across nine years of operation.

The organization operates four core programs: the Bronx Summer Program (hands-on STEAM workshops and NYC field trips for middle and high school students, launched 2017); the Career Leadership Awareness program (resume building, communications, and peer mentorship); the Global Youth Leadership Program (virtual STEM leadership development for youth ages 9-16, delivered to participants in the US, Ghana, and Kenya); and the E-Magazine (a twice-yearly digital publication created by students and community members, launched in 2020). Delivery channels combine in-person workshops, virtual sessions, and experiential field trips (including a multi-year partnership with American Airlines at JFK's Hangar 10). The organization does not develop proprietary technology; its core offering is curriculum, mentorship, and community-based programming.

Revenue is generated entirely through charitable contributions rather than commercial sales. The disclosed model spans individual donations starting at $25, corporate sponsorships (notably Spotify, Morningstar, and the Miller Knoll Foundation for 2022-2023), and foundation grants (including the 2021 Invest in Others STEAM City of Women Leadership Development Project Grant). Complete program sponsorship is priced at $26,600. Programs are free to participating students, with 97% of participants qualifying for free lunch, indicating a mission-driven model targeting economically disadvantaged youth, female-identifying students, and underrepresented minorities in STEM. Distribution relies on community-led partnerships with schools, community organizations, and international implementation partners rather than direct sales motion.
