Permanent & Non-Permanent Funds
Available Funds
The Community Foundation accepts both permanent and non-permanent funds. Permanent Funds are invested, and only income is made available for grantmaking. The principal is not spent, but retained for growth of the fund. Non-permanent Funds generally provide grant support from fund assets as well as income.
Established by Frank J. Schwegman to honor his late brother and best friend, Sylvan J. Schwegman, to meet the changing needs of Kosciusko County, forever. After working at the Perfect Circle company for several years, Sylvan was a Cost Accountant for Dalton Foundry for many years and owner of the NBS Office Supply in Warsaw, Goshen, and Wabash for 25 years. Sylvan was a big fan of Notre Dame, John F. Kennedy, and collected stamps, books, and coins. He enjoyed his family and friends, and his family and friends enjoyed his quick sense of humor.
