ANS: C
Philanthropic funding, whose services are typically research or disease oriented, pays a limited amount of health care. Services are limited to the specific disease or population of interest. Informational and research activities constitute the majority of services provided, although some give direct care or meet ancillary needs such as housing, transportation, or wigs. Legislative lobbying and special services are not the primary health care services provided by philanthropic groups.
