The Categories and Sources of Donations guide helps SCORE chapters understand the different ways to raise funding and build a diversified fundraising strategy. It outlines five major categories of funding—grants, events, sponsorships, monetized workshops, and individual giving—along with practical action steps for each. The resource also explains the five primary sources of contributions (corporations and companies, foundations, government, individuals), detailing what each group seeks and how chapters can engage them effectively. By using this guide, chapters can reduce reliance on a single funding stream and ensure long-term sustainability for SCORE’s mission.
