WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 72/100 — Moderate

Charity Navigator 4-star with a $3.46M budget and a nationally cited asset-based community-development model — funder-ready on substance. The work here is less credibility repair than surfacing financials/impact on-site and expanding the grant pipeline across its three lanes (youth, housing, economic development), which open doors to housing and economic-mobility funders most direct-service orgs can't access.

Your GrantedSC Team

Meet the team working Metanoia

Two people own this account end to end.

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

Eli reads Metanoia'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.

NF
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: metanoia.grantedsc.com.
