The assets of independent foundations are most commonly derived from the gift of an individual or family. Some function under the voluntary direction of family members, while others may bear a family name but have independent boards of trustees and professional staff. Typically, independent foundations have broad charters which allow a range of giving activities, but in practice most limit their giving to a few specific fields of interest and to a specific geographic area.

In its fullest sense, a foundation is that member which provides support for the structure and its load.... More often, the term foundation is applied in a restricted sense only to the transition member. Unfortunately, this can lead to trouble, since the ability of the transition member to provide support is limited by the capabilities of what is beneath. Therefore, foundation engineering must consider the foundation system as a whole rather than as isolated, independent elements.
