SCORE Austin Needs Your Financial Support – Donate Online

SCORE Austin serves the Greater Austin area small business community with free confidential counseling and low price business workshops. Perhaps you have benefited from these services or know someone who has. While SCORE Austin’s services are free or low cost to its clients, they are not cost-free for SCORE to provide.

SCORE is an all-volunteer organization. No volunteer receives compensation of any kind, and there are no paid employees. Even though there is no payroll, there are other expenses, and plenty of them! Rent, office supplies, computer and office equipment and maintenance, printing, marketing SCORE’s services, and postage, to mention only a few. And there are many more.

SCORE operating costs are partially funded by donations from its members; income from low-cost workshops; and contributions from organizations, businesses, and individuals that understand and support the benefits to the community that SCORE Austin provides.

If you, or someone you know, have benefited from SCORE services, or you just want to help SCORE Austin continue to help the area’s small business community, we invite your financial support.

SCORE is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Contributions to SCORE are tax deductible. To help SCORE help others, mail contributions to the SCORE office, or donate online.

Volunteer

Volunteer your unique business or professional skills to help others start or grow their small businesses SCORE clients often say, “It is great that SCORE provides this service”, or, “I can’t thank you enough”, or, “Keep up the good work”, or some similar expression of gratitude.

Some SCORE clients return again and again as their needs change and their businesses grow. Being a SCORE volunteer is rewarding. SCORE volunteers come from many different industries, businesses large and small, with different business skills and disciplines, and different ethnic backgrounds. All have a common desire to contribute to the success of others with the knowledge, experience, and expertise that they have acquired in their own careers.

Some SCORE volunteers counsel, some conduct workshops, some assist with administration, some devise and provide special services. All are united in a cause to help new entrepreneurs succeed, and to assist existing small businesses with problems or growth opportunities, by providing guidance, mentoring, and services.
