The '''Blues Foundation''' is an [[United States|American]] nonprofit corporation headquartered in [[Memphis, Tennessee]] that is affiliated with more than 135 Blues organizations, and with a membership spanning some twenty countries.
Founded in 1980, a twenty-five person Board of Directors governs the Foundation whose stated mission is to preserve [[Blues]] history. On its formation, the Foundation organized the annual [[W.C. Handy]] awards to "give recognition of the finest in blues performances and recordings."
The award has since been re-named "The [[Blues Music Award|Blues Music Awards]]."
