Hi [Name], Your clients ask about their record all the time. Could I get it expunged? Will it show up on this application? What does this charge actually mean? Most caseworkers don't have a clear answer. That's not a staff problem — it's a resources problem. I built Path To Clean Slate for exactly that moment. It's a free platform that walks anyone with a record through their state's expungement eligibility in about 5 minutes — plain English, no lawyer required. If they qualify, it gives them a step-by-step roadmap and matches them to free legal aid in their county. For an org serving around [X] clients a month, it typically saves 25–35 caseworker hours and over $1,000 in staff time every month — at zero cost to your organization. You can run your own numbers here: pathtocleanslate.org/roi.html We also connect directly to Path To Work on the back end, so once a client's record is cleared, a free career platform is waiting for them. Would 15 minutes this week work? I'd rather show you than explain it.

Hi [Name], Sending a quick follow-up in case this got buried. One thing worth knowing: we're offering a free 90-day pilot to partner organizations this spring — your team gets a co-branded link, a usage dashboard, and data on how many of your clients are getting screened and following up on expungement. If now isn't the right time, totally understand. If it is — I'm easy to reach at reider.waage@gmail.com or you can book directly: pathtocleanslate.org Reider

Hi [Name], I know how your [clinic / hotline] works. People show up without knowing whether their offense qualifies. Your team spends the first 30 minutes just finding out. Some cases you can help. Some you can't. I built Path To Clean Slate to handle that first 30 minutes before they ever reach you. It's a free platform — 5 questions, 5 minutes — that tells anyone with a record whether they qualify for expungement in their state, what type of relief applies, and what the process looks like. For clients who need attorney help, it routes them directly to free legal aid by county and zip code. For a clinic running around 60 intakes a month, PTCS typically pre-screens out 15–20 ineligible cases — that's 10–13 attorney hours back every month, and more capacity for the cases you can actually win. See the numbers for your volume: pathtocleanslate.org/roi.html No cost. No contract. We also send referrals your way for cases that need full representation. Would a 15-minute call work this week? Or I can send a walkthrough link if async is easier. Reider Waage Path To Clean Slate | pathtocleanslate.org 100% Disabled USMC Veteran — Elk Grove, CA reider.waage@gmail.com | (408) 658-9222

Hi [Name], Quick follow-up. One thing I didn't mention: we're also building out a referral flow where clients who need legal help get routed directly to partner organizations like yours by zip code. It's a way to fill your intake pipeline with qualified, motivated clients — without any marketing on your part. If that's worth 15 minutes, I'm available this week. Happy to start with a simple walkthrough link if that's easier. Reider reider.waage@gmail.com | (408) 658-9222 | pathtocleanslate.org

Hi [Name], Most grant applications you see in the criminal justice / reentry space come from organizations that need funding to build something. The risk is real — you fund the build, the build stalls, outcomes never materialize. Path To Clean Slate is already built and already live. It's a free platform that walks anyone with a criminal record through their expungement eligibility — 5 questions, 5 minutes, all 50 states, no lawyer required. Users leave with a step-by-step roadmap and a match to free legal aid in their county. It connects directly to Path To Work, our free career platform, so a cleared record leads immediately to a career direction. The cost-per-expungement-completed runs around $139 at current scale — a fraction of what traditional legal aid costs per case. You can adjust the model for any grant size here: pathtocleanslate.org/roi.html I'm reaching out because [Foundation]'s work in [criminal justice reform / Clean Slate / economic mobility] is exactly the context this fits. We're seeking growth funding specifically for: Spanish-language support, expanded state coverage, and employer-side tools. Built and operated by a 100% Disabled USMC Veteran. Free for every user, every time. Would 15 minutes work this week?

Hi [Name], I'm writing to introduce Path To Clean Slate, a free platform that provides guided expungement eligibility screening and step-by-step record-clearing guidance across all 50 states. The platform directly supports the goals of the Second Chance Act by: - Increasing access to record relief for returning citizens who cannot afford legal counsel - Reducing recidivism by removing employment and housing barriers tied to criminal records - Connecting users with free legal aid partners for representation when needed - Linking users to a free career platform (Path To Work) upon record clearance The platform is free, already live, and was built and is operated by a 100% Service-Connected Disabled USMC Veteran. I'm interested in learning more about current funding cycles under [Second Chance Act / OJP Reentry programs] and whether Path To Clean Slate would be a competitive applicant. I'd welcome a brief conversation at your convenience. Reider Waage Founder pathtocleanslate.org reider.waage@gmail.com

Hi [Name], When someone successfully completes your diversion program, they leave with a second chance. The question is what happens next. For most, that's where the system stops helping. They don't know whether their record is now expungeable. They don't know where to start. A clean slate exists on paper, but no one handed them a roadmap. Path To Clean Slate is that roadmap. It's a free platform that walks anyone through their expungement eligibility in their state — what they qualify for, what the process looks like, and which free legal aid resources are available in their county. It takes about 5 minutes. What I'm proposing is simple: a pilot embed. Diversion completers receive a link to Path To Clean Slate as part of their program completion materials. No cost to your office. No new process required. Just a resource that makes your diversion program's outcomes more complete. It also reduces the number of error-riddled pro se filings that reach your clerk — better-guided applicants mean fewer deficient petitions. You can see the estimated impact for your program's volume here: pathtocleanslate.org/roi.html Would a 15-minute call work to walk through what this would look like for [program name]?

Hi [Name], I know your office handles a volume of record expungement questions that goes well beyond your capacity for full representation. Path To Clean Slate is a free platform that handles the first step: telling your clients whether they're eligible, what type of relief applies, and what the process looks like in your state — in plain English, no attorney required. You can embed a link directly into your client materials or referral sheet. Clients who need full representation for complex cases still come to you — but the routine eligibility questions stop taking up your staff's time. Free. Always. Built by a 100% Disabled USMC Veteran who has seen these barriers from every angle. Happy to send a product overview or jump on a call at your convenience.
