WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 61/100 — Moderate

A four-decade safety-net org (since 1983) running a food pantry, hot lunches, a wellness clinic, and a clothes closet across the tri-county — exactly the kind of direct service funders fund. Two items to manage: it ran a ~$93K deficit in FY24, and its legal/IRS name is still 'Tricounty Family Ministries' while it operates publicly as 'Neighbors Together,' which can scramble donor and grant-database searches. Reconciling the brand + 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 Neighbors Together'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: neighbors-together.grantedsc.com.
