Governance
FACT was created by the General Assembly in 1986. It is governed by a Board of Trustees who are appointed by the Governor, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and Senate Committee on Rules. The Virginia Department of Social Services provides staff support and technical assistance to the FACT, and the Commissioner serves as an ex officio member of the Board of Trustees.
Funding
FACT is primarily funded by direct donations from public and private sources, revenue from the sale of the KIDS FIRST license plates, voluntary donations on state income tax returns, and a small portion of the proceeds from Virginia Casinos.
For over 35 years, FACT has provided funding for hundreds of programs focused on preventing and treating family violence.
