ACAAA’s mission is to provide education, advocacy, and a unified voice for Community Action Agencies to reduce poverty and promote thriving communities in Arkansas.
In many Arkansas towns, churches stand as the oldest continuously operating institutions—serving not only as places of worship but also as anchors of public service and community support. The Winthrop Rockefeller Institute’s Civic Arkansan Credential is designed to harness the unique influence of churches, both large and small, by encouraging congregations to reflect on how their shared values shape their role in the broader community. Through values exploration and education on how to engage in civil conversations across differences, this initiative invites faith communities to think expansively about the impact they can have when values guide their civic engagement. Whether that means voting, volunteering, participating in local meetings, or even bridging political divides to strengthen civic health in local communities.
Innovative Poverty Solutions exists to develop and implement community-driven, innovative solutions to ending poverty in Northwest Arkansas. Our vision is a community committed to removing the barriers that keep people in poverty.
Communities Unlimited connects rural Americans to solutions that sustain healthy businesses, healthy communities, and healthy lives. We believe that access to opportunities should not depend on where you live, how much you have in the bank, or what you look like.
