Description: Anti-corporate family foundation. FACT is the $43 million family endowment of San Francisco's Diane V. Feeney, daughter of Charles Feeney, duty-free airport store magnate, who anonymously gave away $640 million from his Bermuda foundation's $3.5 billion assets. Diane Feeney is president of both her family's separate Bermuda foundation and the shell for-profit business, FACT Services Co., Inc.

FACT is totally prescriptive; it does not accept unsolicited proposals. Funds only left-wing organizations.

As an offshore foundation, the French American Charitable Trust does not file an IRS Form 990 annual report. Bermuda does not require public disclosure of foundations.

FACT's intent: "Since one of our goals is to affect public policy on the local, state and national levels, we look for clusters that encompass groups working collaboratively on all of these levels and that include base-building, research, media, training, technical assistance, legal, and policy components."

FACT's history: First grants to family charitable interests, 1992; hired managing director and began formal grantmaking, November 1994; registered as for-profit FACT Services Company in California, 1997. FACT is not registered as a nonprofit foundation in California or anywhere in the United States.

FACT is governed by a 9 person Board of Directors of Trustee
