Schools districts and individual schools use many funding sources to purchase Growing Healthy and to provide teacher training. Examples include:

Helping Disadvantaged Children Meet High Standards Programs (Title I)
Safe and Drug-Free Schools and Communities Grants (Title IV)
American Indian, Native Hawaiian, and Alaska Native Education Grants (Title IX)
Eisenhower Professional Development State Grants (Title II)
State Tobacco Money
Private Foundations
State or Local Health Departments
Hospitals
American Medical Association Alliances

To assist school health professionals in obtaining funding, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has established a website that includes a database of information about funding sources that support school health programs. This database, the Healthy Youth Funding Database (HY-FUND), can be accessed from the CDC's Division of Adolescent and School Health's site at http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dash/funding. HY-FUND provides information on federal categorical funding, federal block grant funding and private sector funding. The database also contains specific examples of how states use federal funds to support school health programs. In addition, a similar database can be found on the web site of the National Conference of State Legislatures at www.ncsl.org/programs/health/pp/schlfund.htm.
