Potter County Impact Fund
“The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers and its Potter County Advisory Board is committed to making an immediate impact. The Potter County Impact Fund is an unrestricted endowment fund whose assets grow through gifts from the people of Potter County and investments,” said Benjamin R. Olney, Past Board Chairman and Potter County Advisory Board member.
He also explained how CFTT came to have a piece of Benjamin Franklin’s estate, “The legacy of Benjamin Franklin is one that continues to touch the lives of Americans every day. In his Will, Franklin stated that he wished to be useful even after his death. He left a bequest of 1,000 pounds of sterling silver. The terms of the bequest were that the funds could not be touched for 200 years. Therefore, in 1991, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania had over 2 million dollars from the estate to distribute. The state felt that the community foundations throughout Pennsylvania had the best sense of each region’s needs. CFTT received a portion of this financial distribution from Franklin’s estate. At the CFTT, as well as other community foundations in Pennsylvania, the Ben Franklin Trust continues to support areas of need in our community.”
