Trust Vs Foundation

What is the difference between  "Trust" and  "Foundation"  ?

Eg: I get to see boardings/displays like - 'Ramachandra Trust' and 'The Eye Foundation' or ' The Bone & Joint Foundation '..... ?

Simply put, a trust is an obligation annexed to the ownership of property and arising out of a confidence reposed in and accepted by the owner, or declared and accepted by him, for the benifit of another, or of another and the owner. It may also be general character or of a private and individual character and it may be temproary or permanent character. whereas, Foundation may be an organization or an establishment funded by way of gifts of money for helping others for paying for research. Colleges etc.

I do agree with Mr. N.K. Assumi. He is absolutely right.
