CodePlex (codeplex.com) is a site launched by Microsoft to host open-source projects under a variety of licenses.
CodePlex Foundation (codeplex.org) is a foundation launched by Microsoft. The specifics are somewhat woolly, but I think the core idea is to provide an independent body for companies and contributors to assign their copyright to open-source works to, allowing the largely independent CodePlex Foundation to own it and protect it. I suspect in practice it's going to be the platform for Microsoft to release open-source code while trying to avoid much of the stigma and scaremongering associated with Microsoft doing it themselves.
