Sussex Area Community Foundation received its first
donation in August 2004. This was a gift from the Estate of Leo Forbes,
which was given to the Foundation to be held “in perpetuity”. This means
that the Foundation can never spend the money originally donated all
expenses of the Foundation, including grants, must be paid out of the
income earned on invested funds.
