Nonprofit Start Up Assistance

Did you know that SCORE (Service Corps of Retired Executives) offers free assistance and guidance for those starting or thinking of starting their own nonprofit. SCORE has always been known for small business counseling but since nonprofits are essentially run like a business they are a great resource for nonprofits as well.
