The Google Ad Grant — $120K/yr in free search ads

Families search "autism therapy Charleston", "ABA therapy near me", "speech therapy for kids North Charleston" — high-intent, high-cost-per-click terms where the Ad Grant's $10K/month is worth far more than the dollar figure suggests. But the injected spam links must be cleaned first or Google may suspend the grant.

WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 59/100 — Weak

Mission and CTAs are strong, but the scan found spam/SEO-injected links in the site navigation — a sign of a compromised or unmaintained CMS. To a program officer, that reads as a security and stewardship risk. This is the single most urgent fix before any major application and the clearest reason to talk now.

"Funders fund clarity, not need. Name the outcome and the dollar follows."

Eli runs the money side. He reads Beautiful Gate 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 a no-risk first win, then builds reusable application keychains so every grant after the first moves faster.

Opens every touch with Beautiful Gate Center's mission, then names the funder, deadline, and dollar amount before mentioning GrantedSC.
Leads with the Google Ad Grant — $120K/yr in visibility — as the no-risk first win.
Builds a reusable application keychain so each grant after the first takes a fraction of the time.
Sends a physical 'double report' mailer that lands on the ED's desk, not in a spam folder.
Closes with one frictionless ask: a 20-minute call, no obligation.

Nora Fox
Content Strategy · Social Media
"People give to people. Show the human, not the org chart."

Nora runs the story side. She turns a dry credibility scan into something a board member would share — concrete, warm, and built for how people actually read on LinkedIn.

For Beautiful Gate Center she warms the relationship first, then publishes anonymized posts that make the case publicly — never sharing client data until permission is explicit.

Translates the WCS findings into one human story about the families disability services reaches.
Posts in LinkedIn-native format — short paragraphs, white space, one idea per line.
Keeps every client detail anonymized until permission is explicitly granted.
Warms the relationship by genuinely engaging with Beautiful Gate Center's own recent posts first.
Turns the eventual win into a case-study angle: 'we found $X', never vague AI hype.

10-Day Outreach

Two parallel channels, one goal: a 20-minute call

EN

Eli's Outreach Plan

Direct channel — LinkedIn DMs, email, physical mailer
Day 1 · LinkedIn DM #1
Hook = the Google Ad Grant ($120K/yr) + the WCS credibility scan. "I ran a free scan on Beautiful Gate Center's site — found weak credibility and one fast win. Want it?"
Day 3 · LinkedIn DM #2
Deadline hook for DDSN Provider/Program Grants (Rolling / state cycle). Specific, time-bound, no pressure.
Day 4 · Physical mailer
The 'double report' cover note — printed WCS + grant scan mailed to Angela M. Muirhead, Executive Director & Co-Founder.
Day 7 · Direct email
Subject: "Beautiful Gate Center: $120K in visibility + 6 grant matches." Subdomain link + single ask: a 20-minute call.
Day 10 · Final DM
Leave the door open, reference the nearest deadline, no follow-up unless they want one.

Nora's Content Plan

Ambient channel — anonymized LinkedIn posts + warm engagement
Day 1 · Warm follow
Follow Beautiful Gate Center and leave a genuine comment on their most recent post — human, specific, not salesy.
Day 3 · Post draft
Google Ad Grant angle, anonymized: "Most nonprofits leave $120K/yr on the table. Here's the program almost nobody activates."
Day 6 · Post draft
Credibility-gap angle from the WCS scan, anonymized: the one website fix that changes how funders see you.
Day 10 · Post draft
Case-study hook, anonymized — what a full scan surfaced and what it unlocked.
Private report subdomain:  beautiful-gate-center.grantedsc.com
  1. Full WCS audit + grant opportunities with deadlines
  2. Google Ad Grant checklist + application walkthrough
  3. CMS security audit + cleanup checklist (the injected-links fix)
  4. Single CTA: "Book a 20-minute call" (Calendly embed)
