Funders often ask about board diversity because a nonprofit’s leadership reflects its values, its ability to represent the communities it serves, and its commitment to inclusive decision-making. The FY26 SCORE Association Board Demographics provides this information. A diverse board brings a wider range of perspectives, lived experiences, and professional expertise to guide strategy and strengthen accountability. For SCORE, board diversity also demonstrates alignment with the entrepreneurs we support, who come from every background and walk of life. By sharing our board composition, we provide transparency and show that our governance structure is intentionally designed to foster equity, broaden networks, and ensure that SCORE’s programs meet the needs of all small business owners.
