WebsiteCreditScore · 10-Angle Audit

Credibility score: 77/100 — Moderate

A credible, well-maintained site with a completed capital campaign and strong CTAs. The gaps are funder-facing transparency (EIN and audited financials are not surfaced on-site) and the leadership transition, which makes a clean grants narrative timely.

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

Eli runs the money side. He reads East Cooper Community Outreach'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 East Cooper Community Outreach'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 East Cooper Community Outreach 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 human 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 East Cooper Community Outreach'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 East Cooper Community Outreach's site — found moderate credibility and one fast win. Want it?"
Day 3 · LinkedIn DM #2
Deadline hook for Open Grants (June 1 annually). Specific, time-bound, no pressure.
Day 4 · Physical mailer
The 'double report' cover note — printed WCS + grant scan mailed to Leadership transition in progress (2026).
Day 7 · Direct email
Subject: "East Cooper Community Outreach: $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.

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.
