Overview

Mission

The bbb education foundation is dedicated to sharing the message of business ethics to schools, colleges, senior and community centers where it is most needed. We believe the more we educate our youth, business people, senior citizens and the general public, the more we empower them.

What it reported doing in 2015

To foster ethical marketplace conduct between business and consumers.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
