Please help keep our Treasury royal and flush!
NOW IN OUR 14th YEAR, The Emperor Norton Trust is ever closer to being recognized as the leading public resource on Emperor Norton.
In pursuit of this vision, the Trust continues to engage in a broad-based program of...
Original research and documentation about the life and legacy of Emperor Norton via published articles; our digital ARchive of Emperor Norton in the Arts (ARENA); and our interactive Emperor Norton Map of the World
Educational programming and commemorative gatherings (see our Events pages)
Longer-term projects (a compilation album of “Emperor songs”! books! more!)
Advocacy to persuade the California state legislature to designate the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge tunnel through Yerba Buena Island as the “Emperor Norton Tunnel” in 2027
We hope you will be inspired to support our work financially. (See the fine print below!)

The Emperor Norton Trust is organized as a “sole proprietorship in the public interest.” Nonprofit in spirit and in practice, the Trust is led by John Lumea and supported by a select group of Advisors. The Emperor Norton Trust is the evolutionary “next phase” of the larger enterprise that began with — and was expressed as — The Emperor’s Bridge Campaign from August 2013 to December 2019. Financial contributions are not tax-deductible.
We respect privacy. The Emperor Norton Trust will never share or sell personal information that you provide to us.
