3 Seid donated the company to Marble Freedom Trust, a funder of conservative causes, (led by Leo) which in 2021 sold Tripp Lite to American Irish power company Eaton for US$1.65 billion.
4 In 2020, Seid donated all Tripp Lite stock to the newly created nonprofit group Marble Freedom Trust headed by Leonard Leo, a conservative legal activist. In March 2021, Marble Freedom Trust sold it to the Eaton Corporation for $1.65 billion.[2][1] The donation was made anonymously, but Seid’s identity was first confirmed by The New York Times based on public financial disclosures.[3][1] The New York Times described the donation as “among the largest single contributions ever to a politically focused nonprofit.”
