Graphic Design: Annual Impact Report

We're looking for a volunteer to create a professional-looking, digital-format annual impact report that communicates our impact to donors and stakeholders. The engagement will occur in four phases over four to five weeks. Our first session will be a brainstorm, where we will discuss the key metrics and information we would like to highlight. In our second session together, you'll give us a preview of the preliminary design, and we will provide feedback. We may need one or more additional feedback sessions before our time together culminates with you providing us with the final deliverable in a working format that we could edit in the future and a digital format we can easily share with our stakeholders. This report will be no more than 8 pages (including cover page).

Our ideal volunteer has experience designing brochures or reports and will be prepared to show us their portfolio of design examples. We hope you can spend 15-30 hours over four to five weeks.

Bringing this project to life will help us clearly communicate our mission to the audiences that fuel our work. It’s imperative that we show donors, community members, and the broader public our financials, what we’ve accomplished, and who has supported us, so we can inspire new investment in our mission and keep current supporters engaged and confident that their generosity is advancing real impact for children and families in crisis. A strong annual report helps ensure we can continue to be a safe haven for children and families in our community facing houselessness, mental health crises, domestic violence, and more.

We'll share our logo and visual branding guidelines with you. We also have will take responsibility for writing the copy and providing you with compelling data for our report as well as stories we'd like to highlight and some images. I also have examples of our impact reports from the last four years I will share with you so you can have an idea of what we've done in the past.
