Tips for creating a dynamic nonprofit annual report



Annual reports of the past were static, lengthy documents written in a language only insiders could comprehend. Now, annual reports speak to a broader audience, engaging readers through a narrative-driven approach complemented by engaging images.

But we said, “Why stop there?” So, we took the new annual report a step further. With our dynamic toolbar, you can produce a report that speaks directly to your nonprofit stakeholders. 

Meet the Yearly toolbar. For inspiration, view religious, educational and healthcare annual reports created by our users.

The Yearly toolbar includes 16 features to help customers enhance their digital annual report.

To get started, explore some of these unique features:

Text: Cut through the clutter in your writing. Use inviting, digestible language to engage readers.

Story: A wise man once said, “Storytelling is the key to fundraising and friend-raising.” With a narrative-driven annual report, you can showcase your far-reaching impact.

Gallery: A picture is worth a thousand words. When you create a Yearly account, you’ll have access to more than one million engaging stock images to help you convey your purpose-driven mission.

Chart: Foster transparency and goodwill with your stakeholders by sharing your financials in the form of line, bar and pie charts.

Video: Ramp up your storytelling efforts through video. Did you know 57% of potential donors make a donation after watching a video?

Donate: Increase your fundraising efforts with the click of a button. Because our digital annual reports are interactive, you can receive donations from readers in real time.

Number: Measurable results are trending. You can share data-driven information to help readers understand your overall impact.

Donors: Extend your gratitude for your donors with list categories. Expressing appreciation goes a long way.

Social: Some of the most powerful statements have been said in 140 characters or less. By embedding social media feeds into your report, you can strengthen engagement with your audience.
