The Les Paul Foundation was formed by Les himself years ago, but only recently, after Les Paul's death in August 2009, has it been actively setting up programs as an operating foundation. The mission of the foundation is to advance the understanding and enhance the appreciation of the music, achievements and career of Les Paul. Branded4Good has developed 3 separate websites accessible form one area including a site for the foundation, a fan site for the Les Paul Community and a legacy site that showcases Les Paul's achievements through a timeline.
