ENGAGE - FEATURED DEPARTMENT

SCORE Engage

We have been working to make improvements to the JRNI scheduling tool which will be released at the end of this month. These changes include the following updates:

The system will be updated to use the client database from Engage so existing client information does not need to be entered again when scheduling an appointment.
The screens displayed when scheduling an appointment from within the system will also be updated to make it easier and more straightforward for users.

All related training materials will be updated to reflect these improvements. You can find them in the Engage Scheduling Calendar section of the Support Center.

If you have any questions about these updates, please email engage@score.org.

FUNDRAISING AND PARTNERS

Giving Tuesday

Small Businesses Strengthen Communities. GivingTuesday is a global movement, unleashing the power of radical generosity to transform communities and the world. This year, during the continuing national health crisis, small businesses needed help more than ever before.

The SCORE Foundation provided funding for SCORE’s Small Business Resilience program to support these business owners when they need us most. Contribution to the SCORE Foundation will help us continue to be there for the business owners who depend on us. Every dollar will be used to create valuable and timely resources that small business owners need to navigate the significant challenges they’re facing and keep their doors open.

To help get the word out about the amazing contributions SCORE volunteers make, and assist fundraising efforts this Giving Tuesday locally, SCORE has a marketing toolkit for use here.

When sharing, donations can be directed to scorefoundation.org/donate-giving-tuesday where donors can select the chapter of their choice, or donate to SCORE as a whole.

We thank you for your support in the many ways you contribute to the success of SCORE and small businesses!
