WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 71/100 — Moderate

A Charity Navigator 4-star affiliate (95%) with 182 homes built and a strong brand — funder-ready on substance. Gaps are technical: the site bot-blocks crawlers (403), doesn't disclose 990s on-site, and the Sept-2025 East Cooper Habitat merger may have left stale/duplicate pages. Tightening those protects an already-trusted funder impression.

"Funders fund clarity, not need. Name the outcome and the dollar follows."

Eli reads Charleston Habitat for Humanity's programs the way a program officer would, then maps them to the funders most likely to say yes — naming the deadline and dollar amount before he ever mentions GrantedSC. On this account he leads with the Google Ad Grant as the no-risk first win.

Nora Fox
Content Strategy · Social Media
"People give to people. Show the human, not the org chart."

Nora turns this credibility scan into one human story a board member would share — concrete, warm, LinkedIn-native. She warms the relationship first, then publishes anonymized posts that make the case publicly, never sharing client data until permission is explicit.

10-Day Outreach

Two parallel channels, one goal: a 20-minute call

Eli works the direct channel (LinkedIn DMs → physical 'double report' mailer → email + call ask). Nora warms the ambient channel (genuine engagement → anonymized Ad-Grant post → credibility-gap post → case-study hook). Private report subdomain: charleston-habitat-for-humanity.grantedsc.com.
