Your annual report has more to give

Every foundation meeting, major gift ask, and campaign launch this year will need materials. Right now you're the Director of Marketing + Comms building each one from zero.

Your annual report already has everything.

Your report is the strategy. We just make sure it stays in the room.

Most organizations treat their annual report like a finish line. You cross it, you send it, you move on. And then six weeks later, you’re building a major donor presentation from the ground up, pulling stats, finding photos, rewriting impact stories that are ALREADY IN YOUR ANNUAL REPORT.

That’s the part that gets us every time.

Everything your supporters need to believe in your mission is already documented. The proof is there. The stories are there. The numbers that make funders say “okay, we’re in “... already there. You just haven’t had the team or the bandwidth to pull it through into every moment that counts.

That’s the whole point of this.

We've watched too many strong organizations walk into major asks with whatever they could pull together in time. We've spent 7+ years inside nonprofit donor comms. We know what's in your report because we've built stacks of them. We know which stories move major donors, which data points make funders and partners say yes, and which assets your team needs in the room.

What’s different about working this way

Your brand stays consistent without you policing it

Every asset we build comes directly from your approved annual report. No new messaging that hasn’t been vetted and no off-brand visuals. What was true in the report stays true in everything that follows.

Your investment in the report actually compounds

You spent real time and real money on that report. Right now, most of that investment lives in a PDF that gets opened twice a year. When the report flows into your donor meetings, your campaign assets, and your major gift conversations, the ROI on the whole thing changes entirely.

Your team stops starting from zero

You know that sprint before a big ask... pulling last year’s one-pager, updating numbers, trying to make something feel cohesive with two days’ notice. That’s what this eliminates. Every quarter, you have designed, written, and built ready-to-use assets specifically for what’s coming up.

Here’s what a quarter looks like

We kick off every quarter with a focused 60-minute planning session. You bring your calendar (what's coming up, what asks are on the horizon, what campaigns are launching). We bring the strategy for how your report content maps to every one of those moments.

From that call, your whole quarter has direction.

3 high-stakes donor/supporter assets

Built directly from your annual report, designed for the interactions that matter most. Each quarter we produce 3 assets based on exactly what your quarter needs, not a fixed menu, but a focused response to your real fundraising calendar.

Past clients have used this for:

Donor presentation decks for major gift conversations
Cases for support tied to campaign launches
One-pagers for foundation meetings and grant conversations
Campaign assets for giving season or year-end pushes

Everything is delivered at the start of your quarter. Written, designed, ready to go.

What this looks like in practice

We’ve supported organizations with design projects, both big and small.

This is for you if your report is done and your calendar is full

You have a completed annual report, whether we built it together or you're bringing us in fresh. You have foundation deadlines, board meetings, and giving season on the horizon, and right now you're building for every single one from zero.

This offer is available to organizations we've worked with AND organizations coming to us with an existing report.

If you've got the report, we can work with it.

Your best stories aren’t making it to the room

You know that feeling when you're prepping for a major donor meeting and you're pulling from a one-pager you made two years ago? Updating numbers in a deck that never quite felt right? Sending a case for support that doesn't reflect what your organization has become?

Your annual report has ALL of it. The current numbers and proof that your mission is working. It's just... not in the room.

And the ask happens anyway. With whatever you could pull together in time.

That's the part we can't stop thinking about. The work your organization is doing needs to show up fully in every conversation that could fund it.

Your annual report has more to give

Most organizations use it for about six weeks. You built something worth more than that. Let’s make sure your supporters know it.

Got questions about getting more our of your annual report? We’ve got you.

Do we need to have done our annual report with you?

No. If you have a completed report, we can work with it. We'll use your first planning session to get up to speed on your brand, your audience, and what's coming up. If we built your report together, we're already there.

How is this different from just hiring a designer?

A designer waits for a brief. We bring the strategy. Every quarter we're looking at your fundraising calendar, identifying which stories from your report map to which donor moments, and building assets with that context already baked in. You're not managing us, you're just showing up to the planning call.

What assets can we build each quarter?

We decide together during your Quarterly Content Planning Session based on what your quarter calls for. Past clients have used this for donor presentation decks, cases for support, campaign assets, one-pagers, program spotlight sheets, impact summaries, and event or meeting materials.

When do we receive everything?

Delivered before your next donor moment hits. We'll nail down the exact timeline during your planning session based on what's coming up in your quarter.

What formats will we receive?

Presentation files, print-ready PDFs, design source files and web-optimized files depending on the asset, organized and ready to use.

How do I get started?
