SCORE, a nonprofit supporting small businesses for over 60 years, recently faced a major setback with a tax and spending bill eliminating 60% of its federal funding. This cut jeopardizes the organization’s capacity to offer free mentoring to hundreds of thousands of entrepreneurs. Despite its vast network of 10,000 volunteer mentors and a track record of creating 144,000 jobs in 2024, SCORE is at a tipping point, needing to rethink its financial strategy amid reduced government backing.
