My brother, Carl Skoog, was an outdoor photographer with a passion for public lands. After his death, some of Carl’s friends contributed to a fund in his memory. Carl’s family decided to work with the Keta Legacy Foundation to administer the fund in keeping with Carl’s passions.
Over a period of several years, the Foundation identified projects that were consistent with this vision and consulted with Carl’s family before approving them for funding. This was a mutually beneficial relationship, providing the family with confidence that funds were being used according to the mission we had prescribed.
