A foundation is in essence: (1) an endowment, a donor's contribution, which is invested so as to realize an income from which grants are made; and (2) a board or committee that reviews proposals and decides where the money will be placed. There are two general categories of foundation: private foundations (general purpose, special purpose, family and operating) and public foundations (synonymous with community foundations).

An endowed institution, set up on a permanent basis to support "good causes". In the Anglo-Saxon world, sometimes legally referred to as a "Trust". Foundations usually rely on a major capital donation from an individual or commercial concern (sometimes even from Lotteries). This is invested to produce an annual income, which is then distributed to good causes. Foundationsâ€(tm) origins and formats can be community, corporate, state, private or family, and according to their individual legal status and the laws and regulations of the countries where they are registered, they may be solely grant-giving, or operational, or a mixture of both. Foundations are very active in the fields of health, social welfare, education and, to a lesser extent, culture. They mostly have clearly enunciated programmes and categories of beneficiary, which may change from time to time according to decisions of the Trustees (who are legally liable for the conduct and accountability of the foundation). The legal definition of "foundation" varies from country to country, so that by no means all foundations should be regarded as potential givers.
n. an organization created from designated funds from which the income is distributed as grants to not-for-profit organizations or in some cases, to people.
The word "foundation" itself has no legal status. Any organization can call itself a foundation or use the word as part of its name without necessarily operating as a grantmaking or philanthropic entity. True charitable or philanthropic foundations, on the other hand, are usually organized under the Internal Revenue Service tax code that allows them to accumulate, invest and hold assets tax-free (called the "corpus") as long as they make charitable grants or contributions amounting to at least 5% of the corpus value each year. So a philanthropic foundation with $100 million in assets can invest and grow those assets tax-free, but must contribute at least $5 million a year to qualifying charitable organizations in order to maintain its tax-exempt status. Charitable and philanthropic foundations come in all shapes, sizes and varieties, from the very small, single-purpose family-run foundations to the multibillion-dollar, multipurpose international foundations. The only feature that all such foundations share in common is the IRS's 5% contributions requirement.
A non-governmental, non-profit organization established to further social, educational, religious or other charitable activities by using its funds (generated by previous investments) to promote various initiatives that reflect the goals or values of the philanthropists; a foundation usually solicits grant proposal and selects project in accordance with its policies, priorities and focus, and evaluates the implementation of the projects funded.
a nonprofit organization, usually established for the purpose of making financial/philanthropic grants to qualifying persons or institutions.
A private non-profit organisation with funds and a program managed by its own trustees and directors, established to further social, educational, religious or other charitable activities by making grants. A private foundation receives its funds from, and is subject to control of, an individual family, corporation or other group of limited number. In contrast, a community foundation receives its funds from multiple public sources and is classified in the US by the IRS as a public charity.
