Foundation funding for children's health: Recent trends
Foundation Funding for Children's Health, a report released this month by the Foundation Center , examines the growth and distribution of foundation giving for children's health between 1999 and 2003. The report provides profiles of leading grantmakers and analyses of funding distributions for public health and mental health, substance abuse, and access disparities. In addition, contributing editors from Grantmakers in Health, a nonprofit educational organization that advises foundations and corporate giving programs, highlight the principle trends influencing foundation support for children's health.

Cultural competence in school health programs - survey & resources
To build health programs that bring maximum benefit to all students, health programs at school must take into account the needs of their culturally diverse communities. The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools has compiled an interactive resource page to help school health professionals respond effectively to the impact of cultural differences in health and health care. The page includes several links to articles and toolkits on cross-cultural communication and racial and ethnic disparities. In addition, visitors to the resource page may post their own experiences to the site and fill out a survey on cross-cultural communication at their school.
