Foundation

The United Suffolk Sheep Association Foundation has been established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation with the mission of raising funds to support the following goals:

• Provide educational programs and materials for development of the Suffolk breed and United States sheep industry.
• Provide development of youth through events including (but not limited to), public speaking, knowledge of the Suffolk and sheep breeds, judging, and other activities to develop youth to be better individuals and care takers of Suffolk sheep or other sheep in United States.
• Support research related to the development of the Suffolk breed and the United States sheep industry.

The USSA Foundation is managed by a board of directors. Board members are elected by the board of directors and will be USSA members. The board may also elect an outside representative to the board who is someone who is knowledgeable of the sheep industry and supports the goals of the foundation.
