The Good Shepherd Fund has focused, from its beginning, on service to individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. The Fund was founded as a non-profit organization in 1970. From inception, the Fund has focused on services to individuals with developmental disabilities.

In the early 1980’s the Fund began to act as trustee of special needs trusts for individuals with developmental disabilities. In the mid-1980’s the Fund began its Conservatorship/ Guardianship Program, again serving individuals with developmental disabilities, first in California and later in Oregon and Colorado.

The Good Shepherd Fund operates regionally, serving the western U.S. The Fund accepts special needs trusts benefiting developmentally disabled individuals living in any of the western states. Estate planning services are available in any of the western states. The Conservatorship/Guardianship Program operates in California, Oregon, and Colorado at this time.
