Phyllis, the Gates Foundation and the Ted Turner United Nations Foundation are combining efforts to eradicate polio worldwide. Funding is going towards vaccinations(expanding access to vaccines in war-torn poor nations). It also will going to vaccines against malaria and HIV/AIDS, etc.(I would assume R&D). I didn't see anything on breastfeeding. But you might want to check out the Gates Foundation web site http://www.gatesfoundation.org/pressroom/release.asp?PRindex=82
I would be greatly surprised if any monies were going into breastfeeding support or research. Valerie W. McClain, IBCLC
