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 |
shalie | Both have a long term horizon. |
