Overview: Perpetuity

From PhilanthropyWiki

Perpetuity Definition

Many charitable trusts are established in perpetuity, meaning that they are established with the intention that they will continue forever.

Whether perpetuity is desirable, or whether it is more useful to spend a foundation's assets in the short term, is a much-debated issue in philanthropy.
