According to the text I'm translating, the statutes are comprised of the Urkunde and bye-laws of the foundation. What do we call the Urkunde contained in the statutes of a foundation?
Einhaltung der Bestimmungen der Statuten (Urkunde und Reglement/e der Stiftung)
Der Stiftungsrat wählt eine unabhängige, externe Revisionsstelle, welche das Rechnungswesen der Stiftung jährlich zu überprüfen und über das Ergebnis dem Stiftungsrat einen detaillierten Prüfungsbericht mit Antrag zur Genehmigung zu unterbreiten hat. Sie hat ausserdem die Einhaltung der Bestimmungen der Statuten (Urkunde und Reglement/e der Stiftung) und des Stiftungszwecks zu überwachen.

memorandum of association
In England, foundations can be companies, and therefore have both memorandums (external document/relations) and articles of association (internal document/relations). Perhaps it refers to this distinction.

Comment: "Many thanks to all of you. After more research, I concluded that the best terms for Urkunde for a foundation was either deed or memorandum. In the end I chose John's proposal."

Charter
I think they're refering to the charter of the organization.

Good point, Kim. It probably could go both ways. For some reason, though, I tend to associate the term Charter with bylaws. Take a look at these links:

Hope I pasted them correctly!

| Thanks, Ann. I think it may be a toss-up between charter and deed. http://www1.salvationarmy.org/heritage.nsf/titles/1878_Foundation_Deed_Of_The_Salvation_Army |
