Join Us!
We cannot advance this work alone. We invite you to join us on this journey as we work to create, revitalize, and protects sites and objects of cultural and ecological importance. Your support directly advances the foundation’s integrated work across all initiatives: protecting and restoring the 245-acre Live Oak landscape in Louisiana, advancing regenerative coastal stewardship at Tic Toc in Chile’s Corcovado region, and developing a new cultural asset for New Orleans dedicated to art, architecture, and public engagement.
Each project operates as a living laboratory where historical inquiry, scientific research, and traditional material knowledge are translated into practical stewardship strategies. Philanthropic investment enables research, fellowships, soil literacy programs, regenerative land practices, and public programming that connect people to place in meaningful, lasting ways. By giving to Fondation Trahan, you join a community committed to ensuring that cultural and ecological stewardship remain active forces in the present, not relics of the past.

Invest in new models for conservation as community builder
Invest in Live Oak to help advance innovative models of ecological conservation and public engagement on a historic site. Your support powers the restoration of the 1810 main house, the expansion of ecological corridors, and the permanent protection of more than 230 acres.
FUNDO TIC TOC
Protect the Wildest Parts of Our World While There is Still Time
Philanthropic investment in Tic Toc yields lasting global benefit. The property serves as a living laboratory where scientists, local communities, and conservationists work together to study hydrology, forest regeneration, and biodiversity restoration. It deepens our understanding of how humanity can live in balance with nature, sustaining rather than depleting it.
Magazine St Museum
Invest in a Home for Art, Ideas, and Humanity
