SCORE celebrates 60 years of empowering small businesses nationwide
Celebrating its 60th anniversary, SCORE stands as a testament to the enduring power of mentorship and entrepreneurial spirit. Since its founding in 1964, SCORE has grown into the nation’s largest network of volunteer business mentors, dedicated to helping small businesses succeed.
This milestone not only marks six decades of invaluable service but also highlights the organization’s ongoing commitment to empowering entrepreneurs and fostering small business growth across the United States.
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and resource partner of the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA), SCORE has provided free mentorship and resources to over 17 million entrepreneurs. These services have been crucial in helping businesses get off the ground and navigate the various challenges of the business lifecycle.
Last year alone, SCORE helped launch over 30,000 new businesses, creating more than 150,000 jobs in the process. Nationally, SCORE clients who received three or more hours of mentoring reported higher revenues and increased business growth.
