From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Venomous snakes are species of the suborder Serpentes that are capable of producing venom, which is used primarily for immobilizing prey and defense mostly via mechanical injection by fangs. Common venomous snakes include the families Elapidae, Viperidae, Atractaspididae, and some of the Colubridae. The toxicity of them is mainly indicated by murine LD50, while multiple factors are considered to judge their potential danger to humans.
A foundation (also a charitable foundation) is a legal category of nonprofit organization that will typically either donate funds and support to other organizations, or provide the source of funding for its own charitable purposes. Foundations incorporate private foundations and public foundations.
1 Independent foundations are distinct from other kinds of private foundations like family or corporate foundations, in that they are not governed by the benefactor, the benefactorâs family, or a corporation. 2  They are usually funded by endowments from a single source such as an individual or group of individuals. With family foundations, the family members of the donor(s) have a substantial role in the foundationâs governance. 2  Corporate foundations (or company-sponsored foundations) are philanthropic organizations that are created and financially supported by a corporation.
