Putting Kids First: Children's Services Fund
In November of 2008 the Franklin County citizens passed Proposition 1, Putting Kids First which created a Children’s Services Fund for children and youth nineteen years of age or less in Franklin County. The Franklin County Children and Families Community Resource Board (FCCRB) have been entrusted to oversee this fund. This fund is created under Missouri state statutes 67.1775 and 210.861. Missouri Revised Statute 210.861 specifically lays out what types of services can be provided for.
The funds are dedicated for services to Franklin County children and youth, and are awarded to local agencies through contracts to provide services that address the growing unmet mental health needs of our community youth.
The FCCRB has pledged to use these sales tax revenues wisely and prudently while working with agencies and organizations to provide a myriad of mental health-related services to benefit the children and youth and their families of Franklin County. The priority of the FCCRB is the safety and wellness of the children and youth living within the county.

Domestic Violence Fund
In 2012, the FCCRB was appointed by the Franklin County Commission to administer the Franklin County Domestic Violence Fund. This fund is generated by fees imposed upon the issuance of a marriage license ($5) and upon the entry of a decree of dissolution of marriage ($10). The Domestic Violence Fund is created in order to provide financial assistance to shelters for victims of domestic violence as provided under Missouri state statutes 488.445, 455.215, 455.220, and 455.225.
