WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 59/100 — Weak

A 115-year YWCA affiliate with a clear, powerful mission — but the web presence actively undercuts it. Two live sites (ywcacharleston.org and ywcagc.org) on different platforms split the brand, confuse donors, and fragment SEO/canonical authority. Add a small budget running at a net loss and no published annual served-counts, and the fix-first work is clear: consolidate to one site, surface impact numbers, and rebuild funder confidence.

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

Eli reads YWCA Greater Charleston'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: ywca-greater-charleston.grantedsc.com.
