1) In evidence The basis for admitting testimony or evidence
into evidence. For example, an attorney must lay a foundation in
order to admit an expert witness' testimony or a company's
business records into evidence. Laying a foundation establishes
the qualifications of a witness or the authenticity of evidence.
2) Fund or endowment A fund or endowment established for a
benevolent purpose, such as charity, religion, education, or
research.
