按照基金会的资金使用方式进行划分，基金会可以分为运作型、资助型和混合型。

资助型基金会是一个将筹集到的资金主要用于资助其它组织运作的公益项目，是现代慈善机构的重要类型之一。我国基金会中只有一小部分是资助型基金会。

这里的资助即为拨款（Grant: A grant is an amount of money that a government or other institution gives to an individual or to an organization for a particular purpose such as education or home improvements.），因此，可将“资助型基金会”译为“grant-making foundation”。其英文释义如下，供参考：

A grant-making public charity (sometimes called a "grant-making foundation") gets its money from many different sources, such as foundations, individuals, and government agencies. An example of a grant-making public charity is the Save the Children Federation. Most community foundations are also grant-making public charities.

运作型是基金会的传统模式。基金会一般在筹集善款之后，自己运作项目，并在项目完成之后向理事会、捐赠方、公众进行报告。运作型基金会的优势在于可以保证对项目进展情况的掌控。

运作一词即“operating”，因此“运作型基金会”即“Operating Foundation”，其英文释义如下，供参考：

An operating foundation predominantly undertakes charitable activities and must be significantly involved in its own projects in a continuing and sustaining fashion. (Examples might include the operation of a museum, zoo, library, or research facility.) To ensure that operating foundations are adequately engaged in directly carrying out their charitable activities, each year, they are required to spend the major portion of their investment income (85%) directly on the active conduct of their charitable operations (direct charitable expenditures).

关于“混合型基金会”，并未查到其准确释义，但根据其字面意思，应该指的是既有运作型又有资助型的部分，因此，可用hybrid一词来表示“混合”一词：You can use hybrid to refer to anything that is a mixture of other things, especially two other things. 将“混合型基金会”译为“Hybrid foundation”。混合型基金中的混合也用的这一词：（混合型基金是在投资组合中既有成长型股票、收益型股票，又有债券等固定收益投资的共同基金。A hybrid fund is an investment fund that is characterized by diversification among two or more asset classes.）

以下为相关双语示例，供参考：

董事会将引导基金的运作，使其随着基金规模和成熟度的提高而一同发展，并将发挥灵活性，使基金随时间推移不断成长，并最终成为气候变化融资领域主要的运作型基金。

The Board will steer the Fund’s operations so that they evolve with the Fund’s scale and maturity and will exercise flexibility to allow the Fund to evolve over time and become the main operating fund for climate change finance.
