This is an appeal from an order striking plaintiff’s complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. We certified the appeal prior to argument in the Appellate Division.
Plaintiff’s basic contention is that the James Kerney Foundation (incorporated not for pecuniary profit under N. J. S. A. 15:1-1 et seq.), was organized by its founders to benefit Korean Catholic charities exclusively and that the Foundation trustees, the individual defendants, in not exclusively limiting the grants to such charities violated their duties.
The purposes and objects provisions of the Foundation certificate of incorporation state:
“1. To memorialize and honor the memory of the late James Kerney, distinguished editor, jurist, diplomat, statesman, philanthropist and author, by assisting worthy charities and welfare organizations, and
2. To make contributions, loans, gifts and render financial or other assistance to organizations and associations, hospitals and institutions engaged in charitable and eleemosynary or social welfare work of the City of Trenton, New Jersey and vicinity.”
We cannot find any such limitation in this clear language. There is no ambiguity whatever. The limitation which plaintiff seeks to apply cannot be established by parol evidence of the private intent of a contributing incorporator. Nor can a contributor, upon a claim that he so intended, seek to undo the contract of incorporation and to recover what he put in.
Affirmed.
For affirmance ■— Chief Justice Weintbaub and Justices Jacobs, Fbancis, Peoctoe, Hall and Schettiho — 6.
For reversal — None.
