Eric A. and Karene L. Shields Fund

Eric and Karene started their lives together while attending Humboldt State University and, after a life raising amazing children and having an adventure or two, felt fortunate to leave a legacy supporting causes close to their hearts. This fund supports annual gifts for mental health advocacy and services in Humboldt, Trinity, Del Norte, and Inyo Counties, all in California; the protection, preservation and habitat conservation of Sandhill Cranes populations in Nebraska and neighboring states; and the Mothorn-Reid-Corbitt Family Fund at the Idaho Community Foundation.
