calcasieu historical preservation society fund

The mission of the Calcasieu Historical Preservation Society (CHPS) is to encourage the preservation of historical buildings, objects, and places relating to the history of Louisiana and Calcasieu Parish, including its natural beauty and all that is distinctive to our state.

One of the primary ways that CHPS accomplishes this mission is to recognize those who have contributed toward the preservation of buildings, objects, and places. This is done by presenting awards to deserving property owners via the Calca Commendation and the Landmark Awards.

Donations to the Community Foundation of Southwest Louisiana are processed by our affiliate, the Baton Rouge Area Foundation. The link below leads to a page on their website.
