Aspire Arkansas, a statistical report sponsored by Arkansas Community Foundation, is a key tool for sharing knowledge.

You can find county fact sheets, historical data and PDFs of individual data maps. This updated data can be of use when you are searching for information on issues important to Arkansas communities.
ENGAGE Magazine takes a deep dive into issues such as economic development, early childhood education, needs of aging Arkansans, homelessness, healthcare and community activism. The magazine examines the people and organizations working to make positive changes on issues explored in Aspire Arkansas.
After you take a look at community needs through Aspire Arkansas and ENGAGE, the Community Foundation makes it easy to learn more with our Arkansas Nonprofit Directory.
