Foundation

Dondre Green glanced uneasily at the civic leaders and sports figures filling the hotel ballroom in Cleveland. They had come from across the nation to attend a fund-raiser for the National Minority College Golf Scholarship Foundation. I was the banquet's featured entertainer. Donre, an 18-year-old high-school senior from Monroe, Louisiana, was the evening's honoured guest.

The word `foundation' has many meanings when I looked into dictionaries, so, I can't understand the exact meaning of foundation in my context.

Could you explain me the meaning of foundation in my context?
