Erik is the co-founder of SK2 Fund, a family-run foundation with a mission of accelerating the transition to a more equitable and sustainable world. SK2 utilizes integrated capital strategies to support and invest in underserved social and environmental entrepreneurs, both international and domestic.

Erik believes in a more compassionate brand of grassroots capitalism that harnesses the energy of the free market coupled with social and environmental responsibility. He also advocates for philanthropic peers to align financial resources with their missions and values. Both SK2 Fund and the Arthur B. Schultz Foundation have invested 100% of their endowments in alignment with their missions and other progressive social and
environmental initiatives. Both foundations are committed to a full spend down and redistribution of their resources over the next 10-20 years.

Erik makes his home in Idaho’s Rocky Mountains, spending most of his free time cross-country skiing in winter and river rafting in the summer.
