Did you know that the Foundation Center estimates that the country’s more than 76,000 foundations awarded an estimated $45.7 billion in 2010? In today's highly competitive funding environment, you need to give yourself every advantage by exploring funds from the state, biomedical companies, and private foundations. But where do you start?
