A former fundraiser for the Survivors Network of those Abused by
Priests (SNAP) has filed a lawsuit against the group, charging that it
“callously disregards the real interests of victims” in order to raise
money from plaintiffs’ lawyers.
Gretchen Hammond, who was director of development for SNAP from 2011 to 2013, says in her lawsuit that SNAP is a “commercial operation premised on farming out abuse victims as clients for attorneys.” She reports that more than 80% of SNAP’s revenues comes from lawyers, in donations that she describes as “kickbacks” paid by attorneys for whom the group provides clients.
