Do people think philanthropic foundations would still have a place in Shadowrun's world? I came across the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and whilst he might have originally used it as a tax dodge, nowadays its worth some eleven billion dollars and funds about four hundred and fifty million dollars a year in medical research through grants. Something like this could probably give some of the smaller megas a run for their money in the biomedical field. Could organisations like these survive you think or would the corps crush or try and subvert them to their needs them to be rid of the competition?
