About SACF

Sussex Area Community Foundation is located at 625 Main Street, Unit ‘Y’, Sussex, New Brunswick. (next to Beltone.)

The Community Foundation was established in 2004 from the generous estate of Sussex resident Mr. Leo Forbes.  Since that time many generous donors have added to the Community Foundation.  Donations have provided the seed money to support hundreds of projects in the area and help local students with post-secondary educational costs.   

The Sussex Area Community Foundation serves a radius of approximately 40km from Sussex, New Brunswick except for the Hampton area which is covered by our sister foundation, the Greater Saint John Community Foundation.
