Producing an annual report is a management best practice. But let’s face it: traditional annual reports are also time-consuming and expensive with questionable return on investment. How can you turn what feels like a waste of resources into a powerful communications piece to your donors and other supporters? We’ll explore the trends toward shorter, more modern annual reports that are much easier to create and that provide real value to you and to your constituents. After this session, you will understand:

  • How to choose a format that does the work of an annual report, but is easily repurposed for other uses too
  • How to tell the story beyond the stats and financials
  • The best formulas for creating powerful annual report infographics and videos
  • What to do with donor lists and other space-hogging elements when you decide to do a short report instead
