Definition
基金会 (jī jīn huì) specifically means a 'foundation' as an institution — an organization that manages funds for charitable or research purposes. It is different from 基础 (jī chǔ) 'foundation, basis' or 根基 (gēn jī) 'foundation (literal/figurative)', which refer to an underpinning, not an organization.
