Here is summary of the responses I got to my question about funding sources for consumer health libraries:
Funding Information from the National Network of Libraries of Medicine
(NNLM)
http://nnlm.gov/projects/funding/
Contact the NNLM Network Office in your area for samples of successful proposals, review of proposals before they go to NLM, letters of support for NLM grant applications, and training support for awarded projects.
