SCORE is a nonprofit association
dedicated to entrepreneur education and the formation, growth and success of small
businesses nationwide. Through a partnership with the U.S. Small Business Administration,
SCORE's volunteer business counselors have been helping small businesses succeed
and grow since 1964. SCORE's 10,500 volunteers provide free counseling and low-cost
educational training workshops to aspiring entrepreneurs and small business owners
from 389 office locations across the country. All of SCORE's business counseling
services are available to U.S. citizens or resident aliens.
The
NBA has been an alliance partner and proud sponsor of SCORE's media relations
program for over a decade. Our support of this program allows SCORE to better
its community outreach, its participation at national small business events and
the "SBA Small Business Week" sponsored by the US Small Business Association.
In
a recent letter to the NBA, SCORE thanked us by saying: "We wanted to share
with you the results your donation helped SCORE achieve this year. As a small
nonprofit, SCORE's media and market outreach depends on community goodwill. Your
support of SCORE's media relations program resulted in more than 8,400 news and
feature stores about SCORE. This is a 41 percent increase over the prior year.
This is the most media coverage SCORE has ever received in a single year. This
coverage reached a combined audience circulation of 339 Million."
Most small business owners do not know what resources are available to them. Mentoring
from SCORE's counselors will make it possible for many to reach out for much needed
counseling advice and help them build upon a support system that they can rely
on to achieve success. To learn more about SCORE or to locate the nearest counselor
to a prospective member, please visit them at online at www.score.org.
