Family and Community Trust

In Missouri there is a unique partnership between local citizens, business leaders and government that was born out of the concern to help improve the lives of Missouri’s children and families, it’s called FACT - Family and Community Trust. The mission of the Family and Community Trust, and its board, is to promote and support effective public/private partnerships and community involvement to develop innovative solutions to achieve Missouri's vision for improving the lives of children and families.

The Family and Community Trust improves the lives of children and families throughout Missouri through it's Community Partnerships, it's Missouri KIDS COUNT initiative, and through it's No Kid Hungry Missouri initiative.

The Family and Community Trust: is accountable for achieving results; brings services closer to families and children; involves communities in the decisions that affect their well-being; uses dollars more flexibly and effectively to meet local needs.
