W(h)ine about Data

Most nonprofits struggle to create annual reports that people actually want to read. In this episode, Amanda Lopez talks with our Communication Manager, Morgan Ellis, about making annual reports that donors, board members, and stakeholders care about. This year is coming to a close, so this is the perfect time to rethink your approach to annual reporting, and it’s never too late to start planning ahead.

5 things every good annual report needs:

• Know your audience.
• Lead with stories instead of data.
• Keep your mission visible throughout.
• Use clean design with strong visuals.
• Share it everywhere.
