Question: Who died in 1956 and was a founder of the Netherland-America Foundation?
Context: Mr Thakurdas Choithram Pagarani wanted to start a foundation called the Choithram International Foundation.  He was dying of cancer.  He drew up a trust deed, including himself a trustee.  He travelled from his business based in Dubai and had a ceremony at his son's home in London.  On 17 February 1992, with people gathered at his bedside, Mr Pagarani announced he was transferring his money to a Jersey trust for his proposed philanthropic foundation.  Witnesses differed in the precise words, but the generally accepted substance as to what he was thought to have said was: "I now give all my wealth to the Trust" or "I have given everything to the Trust".  Mr Pagarani executed the trust deed in front of three trustees (who also signed), his accountant and the First Secretary of the Indian High Commission.  He told the group accountant, Mr Param, that he knew what to do to transfer all balances to the foundation.  There were to be three more trustees (who signed shortly afterwards), and Mr Pagarani himself was to be a seventh trustee.  Those present testified that Mr Pagarani made an immediate absolute gift to the Foundation of all his shareholdings and credit balances in four British Virgin Island companies.  But then he died before actually executing the documents to transfer legal title to the assets to the trustees.  Some of his children contended the gift was imperfect and unenforceable.  The four BVI companies in fact altered the share registers later the same day.  Mr Pagarani had also prepared a will, but had not signed it.  The share transfer documents were also unsigned by Mr Pagarani.  The relatives who were trustees of the Foundation claimed that the gift to the Foundation was valid, and that the shares in the companies had not been transferred properly in the manner specified by law in the International Business Companies Act.  Other people who stood to inherit challenged the foundation's claim. The Alexander S. Onassis Foundation was created by Aristotle Onassis to honor the memory of his son Alexander, who died at age 24 in an airplane crash in 1973.  Aristotle Onassis died in 1975, and had directed in his will that half of his estate should be transferred upon his own death to a foundation to be established in Alexander’s name.  In 1975, the executors of the estate accordingly established a pair of foundations, incorporated in Vaduz, Liechtenstein: the Business Foundation, which acts as a holding company for the underlying business interests, and the Alexander S. Onassis Public Benefit Foundation, which is the sole beneficiary of the Business Foundation.  The public benefit foundation is based in Athens, Greece.  Aristotle's daughter, Christina Onassis, was the first president of the foundation.

The Lopez Family Foundation is an American nonprofit organization founded by sisters, Jennifer Lopez and Lynda Lopez in 2009.  Although the sisters had wanted to create a charitable foundation for years, it wasn't until Jennifer's daughter Emme experienced a medical scare when they did.

Although she was okay, Jennifer felt that there are mothers and children who didn't have proper medical care and access to health systems.  The sisters then partnered with Children's Hospital Los Angeles and the Telemedicine program to develop 'The Maribel Foundation'.  It was named after Jennifer's then-husband Marc Anthony's sister Maribel, who died due to a brain cancer at age 8.  While also partnering with companies such as Samsung and Best Buy, the foundation works to increase the availability of health care and health education to the less fortunate.  As of 2012, its name has been changed to The Lopez Family Foundation.  The foundation's slogan is "Where children are concerned, there is no time to lose."
