Foundation Legitimacy is a theoretical construct that denotes the perceived rightfulness of a philanthropic foundation’s authority and actions as granted by societal, legal, and normative expectations, distinguishing it from other institutional legitimacy forms through its dependence on voluntary governance, public benefit mandates, and donor intent fidelity.
