The SCORE Foundation is excited to share with you the tools you’ll need to manage an individual fundraising campaign in honor of National Small Business Week. In this toolkit, you will find a suggested email, social media posts and graphics to use for your fundraising campaign, which should run from May 1 through May 7. Simply click here to access the toolkit. 

Use the suggested posts and graphics to communicate through your social media channels throughout the week of May 1 through May 7. We suggest at least 1 per day. 

Send the suggested email, which will be dropped into your Constant Contact accounts next week, twice the week of May 1 through May 7 to volunteers, clients and other local contacts. We suggest on Tuesday, May 2 and on Thursday, May 4.

Link all social media posts and emails to your online donation page. If you already have an online donation page set up for your chapter, you can link to that page. If not, you can link to our national donation page where donors have the option to give to your local chapter, https://scorefoundation.org/donate/.

Effective for all travel beginning April 1^st 2022, SCORE will be implementing the following minor changes to our existing travel policy. We are updating these policies to ensure that volunteers are being appropriately compensated for their travel expenses and to remain in compliance with our Federal Award Terms and Conditions.

SCORE is increasing its personal vehicle mileage reimbursement to be the GSA privately-owned vehicle rate, currently at $.585/mile (March 31st and earlier remains at $.25/mile). The rate will be set annually by SCORE management. The Form 14 will automatically calculate this updated rate for the traveler. Please note that the difference between the IRS charity volunteer mileage rate of $0.14 and the reimbursed rate is taxable income to volunteers. SCORE is required to issue tax form 1099-NEC to a volunteer when the difference is $600 or more during a calendar year. Please see our Support Center Page on Reimbursements for additional details.

To satisfy our federal award requirements SCORE will be requiring the traveler to provide price comparisons (e.g. Kayak or Expedia screenshot) showing that they have examined at least three reasonable and comparable lodging accommodations. This documentation is required ONLY IF:

a)  The traveler is being reimbursed with federal award (restricted) funds; AND

b)  The lodging rate exceeds the posted GSA Rate

Please find additional details under the lodging section of the Form 14 - Volunteer Reimbursement Expense Report & Check Request Form – Support Center.
