Emily1119 What's the different between foundation and endowment? Thanks~
johntan1979 Foundation have a limited lifespan, while endowment is like a perpetuity.

Keyword in the question is "continuing"
Bududeen the difference is in the word university....endowment normally refers to university funds and foundation refers to charity organisations
