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

Parents and mandated reporters search in crisis: "child abuse help Charleston", "forensic interview SC", "report child abuse Charleston County". A JS-only site ranks poorly for exactly these terms. The Ad Grant guarantees top-of-page placement for crisis searches the organic site can't currently win.

WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 68/100 — Moderate

Dee Norton has gold-standard credibility (NCA accreditation, Charity Navigator, a 2024 strategic plan) but its website is fully JavaScript-rendered — search engines and many funder-side scrapers see an empty page. That single technical issue suppresses SEO and hides the impact data that should be doing the convincing.

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

Eli runs the money side. He reads Dee Norton Child Advocacy 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 Dee Norton Child Advocacy 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.

"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 Dee Norton Child Advocacy 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 child advocacy 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 Dee Norton Child Advocacy 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 Dee Norton Child Advocacy Center's site — found moderate credibility and one fast win. Want it?"
Day 3 · LinkedIn DM #2
Deadline hook for Child & Family Well-Being (Invitation / LOI). Specific, time-bound, no pressure.
Day 4 · Physical mailer
The 'double report' cover note — printed WCS + grant scan mailed to Beverly Hutchison, Executive Director.
Day 7 · Direct email
Subject: "Dee Norton Child Advocacy 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.
