Before you send

Before you send

What we do with this. SCORI staff read each intake to understand your request and think through possible next steps. Depending on what you share, that might be a conversation about direction, focused technical assistance, help finding resources, or an introduction to another organization or a mentor.

What we can't promise. Sending this form doesn't guarantee a particular service, mentor, referral, funding or outcome. SCORI helps with navigation and connections; it is not a grant-distribution program. Any introduction to another organization or a mentor is arranged by SCORI staff, and we'll check with you before making one.

Sharing your story (optional)

SCORI sometimes features participants in posts, events or case studies. This is separate from your request, and saying no won't affect it. Sending this form is not permission to publish anything.
