SCORE Foundation Secures Grants for Financial Educational Training for Small Business Owners

The LPL Financial Foundation and Glenn W. Bailey Foundation Provide Funding for Local and National Programs Offered Through SCORE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – November 20, 2023 – The SCORE Foundation, the philanthropic arm of SCORE, the nation’s largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, today announced that the LPL Financial Foundation and Glenn W. Bailey Foundation will support SCORE’s education and training programs for small business owners that will focus on improving their financial literacy and overall business acumen. Both Foundations supported other SCORE educational offerings last year. The SCORE Foundation collaborates with organizations across diverse industries to underwrite SCORE’s services that help founders gain necessary skills to increase their success.

The Glenn W. Bailey Foundation will support the resources needed for the workshop, “Simple Steps for Finding the Right Funding” which SCORE chapters around the country will offer to entrepreneurs and business owners in their local community.  The workshop will cover a range of funding options from bank loans to credit lines to crowdfunding and more. The package includes a full complement of presentation materials and training tools along with worksheets, handouts and an online elearning module for participants to access after the workshop.

The LPL Financial Foundation will support a three-part series of national instructional webinars devoted to providing practical, financial and strategic business planning advice on operating companies of all types more efficiently and successfully.

“Managing cash flow, accessing working capital, budgeting and handling unforeseen expenses are among the top financial challenges for small businesses,” said Liz Sara, president of the SCORE Foundation. “We are thrilled to count on these foundations for funding which will enable SCORE to increase resources to founders to help them run a thriving company,” she added.
