WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 42/100 — Weak

The mission is strong but the website actively undercuts it: an unedited Wix template footer (“© 2035 by Make A Change”), a gmail contact address, no EIN, no leadership, and only 990-N filings. To a program officer this reads as an unestablished org — the single most urgent fix before any major application, and the clearest reason to talk now.

Eli North
Business Development · Grant Intelligence
"Funders fund clarity, not need. Name the outcome and the dollar follows."

Eli reads Community Resource Center'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: community-resource-center.grantedsc.com.
