WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 61/100 — Moderate

A dependable neighborhood safety net since Hurricane Hugo (1989): a food pantry that moved ~313,000 lbs of food in 2024, plus utility assistance and a home-repairs team. Strong, fundable substance. The fix-first item is discoverability — the live site is jioutreach.org (not the descriptive jamesislandoutreach.org many type), which splits search. Consolidating the domain + surfacing impact is the move.

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

Eli reads James Island Outreach'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: james-island-outreach.grantedsc.com.
