You’re the person everyone relies on for the annual report, impact one-pager, donor newsletter, and gala program. Everything comes to you.

Every year, you improve your skills. Even so, there’s often a difference between what you picture and what ends up on the page.

These workshops are here to help you bridge that gap.

Every month, we meet live to focus on one part of donor communications. Some things are tricky, no matter how much experience you have. There’s no theory or filler—just screen-shares, real examples, and practical tips you can use right away. It’s free, live, and only takes an hour.

Inside each session

Each workshop covers a specific part of your annual report or donor materials. The sessions are practical and tailored to how nonprofit communications really work, not just generic design advice. Here are some past and upcoming topics:

→ Alignment, spacing, and layout grids

→ Designing your impact section so donors feel something

→ Financial pages that don't look like a screenshotted spreadsheet

→ Choosing and placing photos that support the story

→ Designing for print vs. digital

There’s a new topic every month, with a live demo, real examples, and a Q&A at the end.
