	Funding is a top concern for over 85% of local health departments today. In a time of diminishing support, how can you and your local health department preserve existing funding and expand the resources you have? NACCHO's online Foundation Funding Guide is your resource for consolidated, customized private funding opportunities. You can select from 18 funding-related topics and specify the state in which you intend to apply, and the Funding Guide will provide a list of foundations that match your criteria. Deadlines, contact information, grant limitations, and award amounts are summarized and easy to search. To help cope with the challenge of funding and learn ways to increase the effectiveness of your funding application, you can also take advantage of two NACCHO webcasts: Develop Your Statement of Need Using Data and Write Clear Goals and Objectives.
