Could you explain the difference between the Foundation and Society?

A:  The Society and Foundation are two separate legal entities although the Foundation is the subsidiary of the Society because the Board of the Society appoints the Trustees of the Foundation. The Society relies on the capital invested by its members in the form of withdrawable share capital. The Foundation, a registered charity, relies on donations from individuals which can be gift-aided, smaller grants and larger institutional grants from funders such as Comic Relief. The Society lends money to organisations involved in fair trade and the Foundation provides training and building of support organisations in the developing world.
