A PROFILE OF IMMIGRANTS IN ARKANSAS

Did you know that Arkansas had the fourth fastest rate of immigrant population growth from 2000 to 2010? Or that immigrants make significant economic contributions to the state? The Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation recently released a new three-volume report, A Profile of Immigrants in Arkansas, that analyzes key demographic trends and the economic impact of immigrants and the Marshallese population in Arkansas.


Making a Difference in Arkansas

At WRF, we focus our efforts on people and communities that have the least wealth and opportunity. We use our resources to understand the problems contributing to poverty in Arkansas and develop long-term action plans to address the underlying issues.

Our Moving the Needle strategy is based on the belief that all Arkansans fare better when no one is left behind and when everyone shares in economic progress, quality education and general community well-being. Moving the Needle is grounded in the life and legacy of Winthrop Rockefeller.
