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. 1, record 4, English, - independent%20foundation
