Alapítványi

Alapítványi is a Hungarian adjective meaning “of a foundation” or “foundation-related.” It is derived from alapítvány, a nonprofit legal entity created to hold and manage assets for a defined purpose, typically for public or charitable aims. In Hungarian civil law, egy alapítvány is a separate legal person established by a founder who transfers assets to serve a predetermined objective. The foundation is governed by an alapító okirat (founding charter) and operates under rules intended to ensure that its resources are used exclusively for the stated goals.

Foundations can pursue activities in areas such as education, science, culture, healthcare, or charity, and their income and assets are generally protected from distribution to private individuals. The alapítványi form is often contrasted with other nonprofit structures, such as associations or churches, by its emphasis on endowment and a defined long‑term purpose. The adjective alapítványi is used to describe elements connected to foundations, for example alapítványi vagyon (the foundation’s assets), alapítványi cél (the foundation’s purpose), or alapítványi támogatás (support provided by a foundation).

In practical use, the term appears in contexts where something is funded, governed, or operated by a foundation, or where assets and activities are described as belonging to or conducted by a foundation. The word thus serves as a descriptive label tying objects, policies, or actions to a foundation-based framework. See also alapítvány.
