The Schneider Foundation — A positive force for change
Schneider gives back generously to the communities in which we live, work and travel because we believe in being a responsible corporate citizen. In 2023, the Schneider Foundation proudly donated $2.1 million in grants to support and provide relief in four key areas: health and human services, children, education and arts and culture.

Our diversity grant program
Our diversity grant program is driven by our associates and provides funding to organizations making a tangible difference in their communities. In 2023, the Schneider Foundation’s diversity grant program gave $250,000 in funding to support 22 organizations across North America, and we plan to continue our contributions in this space in 2024.
In-kind giving
Schneider drivers and trucks are the backbone of our enterprise. That’s why it leaves an impression when a Schneider truck and professional driver show up to transport a load for charity at no cost. In 2023, we transported 50 in-kind loads.
