Building what’s next for SNAP
From farmers markets and food banks in Georgia to the state systems that administer SNAP for 42 million Americans.
Savor Snap started in food access. Founded in 2022, we worked with farmers markets, food banks, and double-dollar SNAP programs in Georgia, helping underserved communities stretch their benefits further and meeting SNAP recipients where they actually buy food. That frontline work showed us something important: the biggest opportunity to protect food security wasn’t at the point of purchase. It was upstream, in the state systems that administer the program: the eligibility determinations, the case reviews, and the payment calculations that happen every day for 42 million Americans.
So we reoriented. Today, Savor Snap partners with state human services agencies to strengthen the systems behind the program, so SNAP stays accurate, reliable, and sustainable for the people who depend on it. The mission hasn’t changed; the leverage point has.
Mission Statement
To protect food security in America by strengthening the payment accuracy of SNAP, the country’s largest nutrition safety net, through applied research with state agencies and human-centered design of the tools that support them.
How we work
We partner with state human services agencies to do two things:
- Research the root causes of SNAP payment errors (the operational and policy drivers) through direct work with administrators, supervisors, and eligibility staff. We advise on the interventions most likely to reduce them, and we share our findings openly with every state we work with. A cross-state findings report synthesizing this work is forthcoming in mid-2026.
- Design software where research points to a clear, under-addressed opportunity to improve payment accuracy. Where we build, including purpose-built AI tools, we build around the people who administer the program every day. Human-centered design isn’t a finishing touch. It’s how we decide what to build.
