SCORE and Rising Tide Initiative Announce Strategic Partnership

Fort Worth, Texas - March 1st, 2019.  SCORE, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping small businesses get off the ground, grow and achieve their goals through education and mentorship and Rising Tide Initiative (RTI), a nonprofit organization focused on creating prosperity and economic development through entrepreneurship, today announced a strategic partnership.

The partnership provides ongoing support for RTI FORT participating entrepreneurs through targeted access to SCORE mentors and through other collaborative efforts by the local chapter of SCORE and RTI.  This partnership also extends the outreach of both SCORE and RTI, introducing entrepreneurs to local resources within the business ecosystem.

 

SCORE Fort Worth is excited about this strategic partnership with RTI since it fosters the vibrant small business community in North Texas by offering mentoring and education. “Every person should have the support necessary to thrive as a small business owner” said Bob Siffermann, Chairman of SCORE Fort Worth

 

“It is always challenging for small businesses to successfully navigate startup to profitability. For many, help is illusive because they don’t know the resources available, or what their next steps should be. Partnering with entities like SCORE allow us to connect our entrepreneurs into the ecosystem and provide those crucial connections for success”, said Cheryle Hays Director of Outreach and Development, Rising Tide Initiative.
