Aspire Arkansas is a Powerful Tool for Making a Difference 

Arkansas Community Foundation (ACF) is working to build the communities where your kids will want to raise their kids through thoughtful, data-driven grantmaking. ACF is pleased to share an updated online edition of Aspire Arkansas, a powerful interactive, online report that measures where Arkansas stands today, reveals insights about how to make grants more impactful – and offers a compass for our future. 

The site provides county-by-county information in six categories: education, health, families, communities, demographics, and racial equity. With secondary, aggregated data from state and federal sources, Aspire Arkansas helps us understand the issues facing local communities and where our state ranks nationally.

The site has several new features like customizable dashboards, new indicators data, and deeper analysis on food insecurity, early literacy, and ALICE families in Arkansas.  

LOCAL DECISIONS, LOCAL IMPACT  

If you are a donor, a nonprofit, a volunteer, or just someone who cares about your community, Aspire Arkansas can help guide where you focus your time and resources to make a difference.
