"Grant Funding for Children's Health Services" is a new special report brought to you from the editors of Health Grants Funding Alert and the Health Funds Grants Yearbook.

From grants supporting programs to combat pediatric asthma, newborn hearing screening, and pediatric rehabilitation, to children's health prevention efforts, combating teen depression, and support for children's hospitals, millions of dollars in federal and foundation grants for services have been awarded and more is being planned.

"Grant Funding for Children's Health Services" has filtered a broad range of grants for children's programs to provide a "sampler" of the kinds programs that can and are being funded.

The editors have studied grants for children and youth made over the past five years to select the representative funding programs that help illustrate the potential for funding opportunities that exist. The grants range from modest amounts from $10,000 to grants in the millions of dollars.

This new special report provides an overview of the variety and types of programs for children and youth that are attracting funding from charitable foundations, company-sponsored foundations and government agencies. Leading sources as the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Hasbro Children's Foundation, the Mattel Children's Foundation, and the General Mills Foundation are spotlighted.
