I’m Olivia, and I started Acton Circle because too many nonprofits were doing great work and getting missed. Their materials weren’t telling the real story. I built Acton Circle to fix that. For good.
The name comes from my grandparents. They lived on Acton Circle in Berkeley, CA. The font comes from my grandfather’s handwriting.
They were the kind of people who loved big and served others faithfully. For decades. Without making a thing of it.
So no, this was never just about design. It’s about honoring a legacy and supporting the missions that are making a real difference.
To get the most out of our templates, we recommend using Canva Pro. It provides essential features like Brand Kit integration for consistent branding and access to premium elements and features that may enhance your customization options.
Non-Canva Pro users can still use the templates, but we can’t guarantee the functionality of the premium fonts and elements included in the kits (Canva Pro is worth it, we promise).
Yes! Drop in your colors, fonts, logo, and photos, and the whole system shifts to your brand. The layout stays; the look becomes yours.
All design elements are fully customizable. You can easily modify color palettes using Canva’s color picker tool, substitute fonts with others available in Canva (including your organization’s brand fonts with Canva Pro), and replace images by clicking on any placeholder and uploading your own photos.
Yes, and you’re exactly who I built it for. If you can swap a photo and type into a text box, you can do this. Everything’s already laid out, so you’re editing, not designing from scratch.
Plus, we have a nifty quickstart guide to walk you through the process.
That's the whole point and it's not just for next year's annual report.
Lifetime access (plus any updates) means you reach for the same system again and again: annual report, impact mailers, donor one-pagers, board updates. One purchase, multiple donor materials off your plate.
We offer email support for basic template questions. For Canva-specific functionality questions, Canva’s help center and support team provide excellent resources.
You’ll receive a downloadable PDF via email with Canva links that will auto-copy the designs into your Canva workspace.
That’s the full 20-page report and the matching Launch Suite—postcard, social graphics, email banners, and signatures—all copied straight into your account, ready to edit.
Totally get it. If DIY isn’t your thing, the Annual Report Design Intensive is the done-for-you option—same donor-psychology structure, built for you start to finish.
