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.
