Foundation (charity) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (364 words) |
 | A Foundation is a type of philanthropic organization set up by either individuals or institutions as a legal entity (either as a corporation or trust) with the purpose of distributing grants to support causes in line with the goals of the foundation. |
 | The foundation has a distinct patrimony independent of its founder and if it is not a moral person, it is considered to be a social trust. |
 | Frequently, these community foundations have both funds to be used at the discretion of the board of directors and other, specialized funds established by individuals, families, businesses, and nonprofit groups at these foundations into which they contribute a variety of assets (cash and stock being among the most popular). |
