Restoring Trust® is a community-powered initiative of BBB Foundation, the 501(c)(3) social impact arm of Better Business Bureau. We help families recover from harmful encounters with dishonest businesses, especially in the trades industries. Whether it’s a home left in disrepair or a vehicle rendered unusable, the damage from fraud goes deeper than just physical.

Our mission is to restore more than homes and vehicles: we aim to restore trust, dignity, and peace of mind. By connecting fraud survivors with vetted, philanthropic Accredited Businesses, we help rebuild what was lost and remind the community that good business still exists.

Together, we’re proving that trust can be repaired and ethical businesses are ready to lead the way.
