The Carl-Zeiss foundation works in a similar fashion. It actively runs the Carl-Zeiss AG and Schott AG, which are in the business of making high quality lenses and glass manufacture. In the late 19th century this foundation (stiftung) was set up to ensure that the workers in their businesses were treated fairly, and that funds be put in the community of Jena (the city Carl-Zeiss has its factory) and into advancing natural and mathematical science in research and teaching (where their most funds are directed to, in the form of the University of Jena).
