WASHINGTON, D.C. – February 28, 2023 – The SCORE Foundation, the philanthropic arm of SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, today announced new underwriting support from the Principal Financial Group and Frannet. These organizations join a rapidly growing community of diverse corporations and institutions that financially support SCORE’s programs and mission to propel small business success across the country.
Principal Financial Group, a global company with products to improve the financial health and wealth of individuals and businesses, is sponsoring the SCORE for Women Entrepreneurs resource hub on score.org.
