As ronsc states, if there was no agreement and you were not paid for the assignment, then the magazine has infringed your copyright and they know it (otherwise they should not be in the business of publishing )
Its all too common for magazines and others who buy images to try to pull the wool over amateur photographer's eyes! The lady fobbed you off by stating that the foundation supplied the images without checking with you the legal status of using them.
But as both ronsc and I have stated, its depends on your agreement with the foundation.
