Ms. Anne Snyder Senior Fellow

Anne Snyder is a writer and convener committed to exploring questions of class and culture, moral beauty, and a beatitudinal faith.

Snyder is the editor-in-chief of Comment Magazine and the author of The Fabric of Character: A Wise Giver’s Guide to Renewing our Social and Moral Landscape.

Prior to leading Comment, she directed The Philanthropy Roundtable’s Character Initiative, a program that seeks to help American foundations and business leaders strengthen “the middle ring” of morally formative institutions. She is also a fellow at the Center for Opportunity Urbanism, a Houston-based think tank that explores how cities can drive opportunity for the bulk of their citizens.

From 2014 to 2017, Snyder worked for Laity Lodge and the H.E. Butt Family Foundation in Texas, and before that she worked at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, World Affairs, and The New York Times. She holds a degree in journalism (M.A.) from Georgetown University and a B.A. in philosophy and international relations from Wheaton College. She serves as a trustee for Alliance University (previously Nyack College), and she is an advisor to Sea Dog Theater. She has published widely, including The Atlantic, The Washington Post, City Journal and elsewhere.
