A foundation can be designed for a specific purpose however, in contrast to a trust it need not have beneficiaries and unlike a company does not have shareholders. It also has its own legal personality and the ability to enter into contracts in its own right. A foundation is run, in accordance with its regulations, by a council as opposed to directors or trustees.
