BBB Foundation

BBB Foundation

The mission of the Better Business Bureau Foundation of Virginia (BBBF) is consumer education. Since, 1987 the Foundation has offered a variety of consumer education programs and services throughout Central Virginia. It is the public education outreach of the Better Business Bureau serving Central Virginia. The BBBF is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit with dollars contributed by generous consumers, businesses and other foundations.

The goal of the Foundation is to help consumers make informed marketplace decisions and not fall prey to unethical business transactions. At the same time we strive to educate businesses on meeting the BBB Standards for Trust. This code of business practices sets them apart and helps consumers to recognize them in the marketplace.

It is our conviction, that with the economic downturn and increased use of advertising, consumers are bombarded with messages from all sides and need to be better prepared when making pre-purchase decisions. We also believe businesses to adhere to ethical standards set themselves apart and gain a competitive edge.
