Following the favourable reports of the responsible bodies it was constituted on 26 March 2001 as a non-profit making organisation of a scientific and cultural nature. The Foundation is under the auspices of the Department of the Presidency and has its headquarters in two buildings in the historic city centre of Seville – in calle Bailén, number 50 and next to the centrally located Plaza de la Magdalena (c/Murillo, 1.1º)

It is also responsible for the management of the Museum of Andalusian Autonomy, which is based in the towns of Coria del Río and Puebla del Río, and the adjacent Blas Infante House-Museum.
