FACT believes that everyone is entitled to fair
and just treatment, basic living standards, equality of opportunity,
and a voice in the decisions that affect them and their communities,
and that individuals and institutions should be accountable for
their actions.
Our model of long-term, systemic change seeks to help individuals
to fully realize their power by organizing at the grassroots level
and forming democratic, community-based groups to advocate on their
own behalf to develop public policies that serve their collective
interests.
 To
support those efforts, we provide $3.5 million in annual grants
to organizations that seek to prevent rather than simply remediate
the root causes of social inequality and injustice in the U.S. and
France — such as disenfranchisement, under-representation,
and exclusion from the policymaking process.
In order to make an impact during the lives of its founders, FACT
plans to completely distribute its $40 million endowment no later
than 2020.
FACT Services, Inc. oversees the Trust’s administrative, financial,
grantmaking, and legal operations from offices in San Francisco
and Paris. |
