Strengthening Arkansas Through Ethics and Education

The Better Business Bureau of Arkansas Education Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2011 by BBB Arkansas to advance ethics research, education, and advocacy for businesses across the state. As an extension of BBB’s mission, the Foundation works to strengthen trust in the marketplace and support organizations committed to ethical practices.

Through business education, training opportunities, and recognition of ethical businesses, the Foundation helps build a network of organizations that prioritize integrity and accountability.

A core focus of our work is consumer and student education. We equip consumers with the knowledge and confidence to make informed decisions in today’s complex marketplace, while also investing in students through programs designed to develop the next generation of ethical business leaders and informed consumers.

At the heart of it all, we believe trust has the power to strengthen people, businesses, and communities across Arkansas.
