Questions about our Annual Report Planner? We got answers.

Who will benefit from this planner?

Perfect for anyone who wants to save time, reduce stress, and create a report that inspires.

  • First-Time Report Creators: Step-by-step guidance to make your debut report a success.

This planner is especially helpful if you’re planning an annual report in the next 3–6 months and want to understand what’s involved before deciding whether to DIY or partner with a designer.

How do I access the planner after purchase?

You’ll get instant access via your email right after submitting your email and name in the form.

Do I need fancy design tools to use this?

Nope! It’s all built in Google Sheets. If you can open a spreadsheet, you’re good to go.

Will this work if I already started my report?

Yes! The planner helps you stay organized, refine your messaging, and track your progress—even if you're halfway through.

Can I share this with my team?

Absolutely. It’s built with collaboration in mind. You can share the planner with your internal team via Google Drive.

What if I don’t have time to use it right now?

Many teams download the planner early, then return to it once timelines and priorities are clearer.

Will I get updates if the planner changes?

Yes! You’ll automatically get lifetime access to any updates or improvements we make to the planner.

What if I don’t want to DIY my annual report?

That’s completely normal. Many teams use the planner to get clear on their content and priorities, then hand the execution off to a design partner, like us.

If you decide you’d like support turning your plan into a donor-ready report that's true-to-you, our Annual Report Design Intensives are built for exactly that.
