Neither is the case, at least as far as I can find online.

Quoth the 2007 FRC manual:

5.23THE FOUNDER’S AWARD (CHAMPIONSHIP ONLY)
Each year FIRST presents this award to honor an organization or individual that has contributed
significantly to the growth of FIRST.
The Founder’s Award is presented each year, by FIRST Founder Dean Kamen, to one
organization or individual for exceptional service in advancing the ideals and mission of FIRST.
Past winners of this award include: Motorola, Inc. (1993), Honeywell (1994), Walt Disney
World’s Epcot (1995), The City of Manchester, NH (1996), Francois Castaing of Chrysler
Corporation (1997), Johnson & Johnson (1998), NASA (1999), Dr. William Murphy, Founder of
Cordis Corporation & Small Parts, Inc. (2000), Autodesk, Inc. (2001), John Doerr, partner,
Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers (2002), Innovation First (2003), FedEx Corporation (2004), The
LEGO Group (2005), and United Technologies Corporation (2006).

And from the FIRST web site:

FIRST LEGO League Champion’s Award
The FLL Champion's Award is the most prestigious award that an FLL team can win. It celebrates the ultimate success of the FIRST mission and the FLL values. It measures how the team members inspire and motivate others about the excitement of science and technology, solve problems, and demonstrate respect and gracious professionalism to everyone involved in the competition. One tremendous FLL team wins the Champion's Award at each of the Championship level tournaments held across the globe. With more than 85 Championship Tournaments, that's a lot of inspiration!
