Funding the Trust
The Arkansas Children's Trust Fund was created by Act 397
of 1987 as a means of providing a permanent funding source
for child abuse prevention efforts.  Money for the Trust Fund is
generated by a $10 surcharge on the state marriage license
fee.  By law, 20% of the collected revenues are deposited into
a trust account for the future of our children.  Less than 20%
is spent on administrative expenses.  The remainder is given
directly to prevention programs in our state.

The Arkansas Children's Trust Fund also accepts donations
from the public.  Contributions may be sent at any time to:

Trust Funds in Other States
Arkansas was the 40th state in the nation to establish a Children's Trust Fund.  Presently, all fifty states and the
District of Columbia have established Children's Trust or Prevention Funds using a wide array of funding
mechanisms such as surcharges on marriages and divorces, state tax check-offs, keep-sake birth certificates
and heirloom marriage licenses, private donations, and state appropriations.  For more information on the Children's
Trust Funds in other states, visit the web site of the National Alliance of Children's Trust and Prevention Funds.
