Robert Fasic and Roy Grieshaber Endowment Fund

Robert Fasic and Roy Grieshaber enjoyed 48 years in a relationship filled with love, adventure, creativity, and spiritual companionship. They met in Chicago when Robert was an attorney and bank trust officer and Roy was a marketing professional. In 1987 they moved to Humboldt County to own and operate Heartwood Institute, a vocational school east of Garberville. Under their management, the school earned its national accreditation. After moving to Eureka in 2003, they served as officers of the Redwood Art Association and helped guide the association to purchase its permanent home. Both were art lovers. Robert was an accomplished photographer with a passion for photography that started at age ten. This fund supports arts and culture in the city of Eureka including art organizations, KEET-TV, and projects that make Eureka an attractive place to live and visit. The fund also provides scholarships to students pursuing higher education in any major. (2017)
