Presentation systems for leadership or board use
Nonprofits don’t need pretty files.
They need materials that hold up in real-world use.
In workshops.
In board meetings.
In donor conversations.
In community spaces.
We design systems that:
→ guide facilitators clearly
→ support visual learners
→ reduce friction for your team
→ reflect your integrity as an organization
→ stay usable long after delivery
This is infrastructure for trust.

(Straight from our clients)
Explore real client work that reflects the quality, strategy, and attention to detail behind every Acton Circle project.
Simple. Collaborative. Actually enjoyable.
Book Your Intensive
Choose your project and reserve your Intensive with full payment.
You’ll receive a confirmation email and a prep form to share your goals, content, brand assets, and then book our strategy call.
Design Sprint (Early Week)
We spend the first part of the week deep in design—building out your core layouts and creative direction.
You may see small check-ins from us if something needs clarification, but most of this time is dedicated to focused creation.
Review + Input (Midweek)
You’ll have space to review the design drafts and gather any feedback from your team.
Refine + Deliver (End of Week)
We shape the final version based on your feedback—tightening layouts, polishing visuals, and making sure everything feels aligned.
Once everything is approved, we’ll package and deliver your ready-to-use files.
These intensives are created for organizations with established brand guidelines and existing reference materials that want to move fast.
They’re perfect when you:
+ Have content, copy, and images ready to go
+ Need fresh materials or updates without a long project timeline
+ Want to build on past work with designs that stay true to your brand
+ Know what you want and can approve things in a few hours
Think of us as your on-demand design partner—ready when you need new pieces that align seamlessly with your existing identity.
Yes! This is a must. Finalized copy, photos, and brand assets are required before your intensive design window begins. This ensures we can spend the entire time designing instead of waiting on content.
Plan to be reachable by email for quick approvals or clarifications. Fast feedback helps us stay aligned and complete your project in 1 week.
If feedback is delayed, we’ll maximize the work completed during your scheduled week. If additional time is needed, you’re welcome to extend the intensive by the day at an additional rate.
Most clients book 2–3 weeks ahead to secure their preferred date. A limited number of 1-Week Design Intensives are available each month to maintain quality and focus.
We know speak nonprofit and design. We get the realities of mission-driven communication: multiple stakeholders, high expectations, and the responsibility of building public trust.
Our process keeps you informed at every stage with clear timelines, proactive communication, and built-in review points. You'll always know what's next, why it matters, and how it connects to your goals.
We're not here to make things look "clean and professional"—we're here to make donors feel your mission. Our process helps you shape and repurpose content strategically, turning your complex work into cohesive, belief-building visuals.
No hourly rates. No surprise invoices. Just fixed pricing that's clear from day one—built for nonprofit budgets and designed to eliminate scope creep before it starts. You'll know exactly what you're investing and what you're getting. Period.
Acton Circle is a design studio specializing in digital-first annual reports and impact storytelling. We help nonprofits and foundations strengthening communities turn complex work into donor-ready materials that build belief, drive engagement, and work year-round.
