http://www2.cdc.gov/nccdphp/shpfp/index.asp

The Healthy Youth Funding Database contains active information about funding opportunities for adolescent and school health programs. These funding opportunities are from Federal agencies and the private sector. Each funding opportunity is carefully selected based on its relevance to adolescent health, or one or more of the eight components of a Coordinated School Health Program as defined by CDC. Visitors to the site can search for school health funding opportunities, location-specific funding sources, current opportunities, and school health components.

School Health Program Finance Project
http://www.ncsl.org/programs/health/pp/schlfund.htm

The School Health Finance Project gathers information about how States and Territories fund coordinated school health programs. Sources for school health funding and procedures required to access funds vary from State to State, and the data collected are designed to identify those procedures and sources in each State. There are two aspects to the project?the block grant survey and the State revenue survey. The block grant survey collects information about how States use six specific Federal block grants to fund school health programs; the State revenue survey collects information about which States appropriate State general revenue for school health programs. Both databases are included on the Web site.
