Bring your brand to life with Alexander Graham Bell.
While he’s best known as the inventor of the telephone, Bell’s contributions in the fields of aviation, sound recording, medical technology, and advocacy for the deaf make him an influential figure in American history and beyond.
The Alexander and Mabel Bell Legacy Foundation was formed by the descendants of Alexander and Mabel Bell with the objective of sustaining this legacy for future generations. One of the core functions of the AMBLF is to license the name, likeness and intellectual property of the Bell family for commercial, charitable, and educational purposes.
The Alexander and Mabel Bell Legacy Foundation arranges publicity rights, photographs, and licensing opportunities for organizations interested in using the Bell name and image.
We educate the public about the accomplishments of Alexander and Mabel Bell through our website and programs, safeguard their possessions for posterity, and raise funds through licensing fees from supporters like you so that we can offer grants to nonprofit entities related to the Bells’ scientific and humanitarian causes.
You can help us continue our important work by donating or licensing our intellectual property. Taking advantage of the licensing opportunities offered by the AMBLF offers a way of honoring the legacy of Alexander Graham Bell and his family while lending material support to the AMBLF.
