Many thanks to the Mamie McFaddin-Ward Heritage Foundation for the continued support of the Bayoulands docuseries.

The Mamie McFaddin Ward Heritage Foundation continues to honor Mamie McFaddin Ward’s legacy of giving by awarding more than $2.3 million in grant funding in 2025 to support 23 area nonprofit organizations.

Established by Mrs. Ward in 1978, the Foundation was created to fulfill her vision of transforming her beloved family home, grounds, and carriage house into a museum that would serve the community as an educational and cultural resource. In addition to funding the museum—and ensuring that its tours and programs remain admission-free and open to the public—the Foundation supports a wide range of charitable, cultural, historical, and educational organizations. Since 1986, it has awarded more than $12 million in discretionary grants to nonprofits across Southeast Texas. For more information on the Foundation and applying for future grants, please visit mcfaddin-ward.org/mamie-mcfaddin-ward-heritage-foundation.

This Thanksgiving season, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to Mamie McFaddin Ward, and the Foundation she created, for making a difference in our community. 💚💚💚
