About JimiHendrixFoundation.com
On March 8, 1988 James "Al" Hendrix, father and sole heir to the estate of his late son Jimi Hendrix, created the "Commission" naming and identifying the "James (Jimi) Marshall Hendrix Foundation" as his non-profit charitable organization, therein granting the Foundation unrestricted use of "Jimi Hendrix" for Non-Profit and Charitable purposes. He enlisted his son, Jimi's brother, Leon M. Hendrix with the duty and responsibility to see his vision through. In making this notarized declaration, "Al" Hendrix established the James (Jimi) Marshall Hendrix Foundation as the exclusive charitable arm of the Jimi Hendrix estate and legacy. In his Commission, he provided the Foundation with the legal basis and protection to insure its perpetual rights to accomplish its purpose.
The Foundation transitioned through several operational forms over the years, ranging from a d/b/a under Leon's supervision to the mature, current Washington State Chartered, Federally Registered 501(c)(3), LLC. Under the stated purposes in "Al" Hendrix' Commission, all legitimate charitable use of "Jimi Hendrix" is conducted under the authority of the James (Jimi) Marshall Hendrix Foundation for the benefit of its operation, mission and programs, as supervised and granted by the Board of Directors, in accordance with its bylaws.
