The Trustees Award at the Grammys was introduced to honor non-performers and individuals in the field of music who had made significant contributions to the field of recording. This award has been awarded to eligible performers a few times since its addition to the categories, yet it is different from the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, which honors only achievements of performers in the music industry.
