Yes, trust funds can run out of money; they can also last indefinitely, depending upon how they are managed and how they are set up. Nobel Prizes are paid for by a trust fund set up by Alfred Nobel; there is no expectation that the fund will run out and that the prizes will cease to be awarded. But funds have to be invested, and investments can do well or badly. And even if the money in a trust fund was invested wisely, that money can still be spent. For example, trust funds are often used to safeguard money for the benefit of people who are not yet adults and who cannot be trusted to spend their money wisely while they are still minors. But once they become adults (or when they reach whatever age is specified by the terms of the trust fund) they then have access to that money and can spend it. And if they can spend it, they can use it up. Of course, you could also devise a fund that only pays the interest on the fund, and never pays out the principal. That kind of fund can potentially last a long time, but again, only if the investment decisions are wise.
