You may have a number of potential audiences for your annual report, but it’s important to determine who you are targeting. After all, you want to be sure you include the information this audience is looking for in a voice that resonates with them. Like your reason for producing an annual report, your audience is dependent on the nature of your organization. For example …For many non-profits and charities, your key audience(s) might include:Donors and prospective donorsFunders VolunteersPartners/SponsorsFor associations, clubs and other membership organizations your key audience(s) would likely include:Members and prospective membersVolunteersPartners/Sponsors“the most important part of a non-profit annual report is the description of your accomplishments. Your readers want to know what you did, but more importantly, they want to know why you did it. What were the results? Why did you spend your time and money the way you did? What difference did it make? Connect the everyday activities of your organization to your mission statement. Don’t assume that readers will automatically understand how your activities help you achieve your mission. Connect the dots for them.”Using Visuals - Remember to Show and TellWhether you decide to create a printed or online document, or even a video annual report, be sure to use photos and other visuals to help tell your story and make your report more compelling. Sometimes a photo conveys a message clearly with just a simple caption – helping keep your text to a minimum. Look through the photos you’ve taken at events and other activities – this might also help you identify some individuals you might be able to connect with for testimonials as well.Since visuals add impact, you can and should include as many colour images as you like in a digital or online version as well as a PDF.? But if you are creating one document for printing that will be used for the PDF, just remember to either factor in the cost of colour for the printed copies or else produce the images in black and white format for the printed version. (Take a look at the Deaf Blind Ontario Services example above – they managed to include great visuals and photos, using a 3-color format.) You can ask your designer or printer to advise you based on your budget and to help you with technical support.Example: Here’s an example of a digital annual report that was ranked as a “Finalist” in the 2011 VSRA’s – The Canadian Feed the Children Annual Report. This annual report uses photos to help tell their story and they also use visuals effectively to demonstrate the impact of their work and their accomplishments.Design Considerations:Interesting and well-placed photos and graphics can take your annual report from dreary to dynamic. Visuals will also help to draw the reader in, capture attention and break up the text in both print and digital reports.? Remember to keep design clean and easy-to-read.? Don’t use too many typefaces or fonts and whether online or print, make sure you include sub-heads to pull the reader through and help those who are scanning.Thoughts on the Executive Directory and Chairman’s MessagesLetters or messages from the Executive Director and Chair of the Board are standard fare in an annual report - for good reason. It is important for those leading the organization to both report and comment on the year’s accomplishments and state of affairs. As Kimberlee Roth suggests in her post - Your Annual Report’s Opening Message:? 6 Ways to Motivate Readers: Opening messages. In fact, I believe they can be an important component of a non-profit’s annual report. When done well–wellbeing the operative word–they provide context for the rest of the publication. They personalize it and make it more immediate, and they help point readers to key information and calls to action.That said, most opening messages, those “letters from the executive director,” make me want to get out my figurative red pen and edit away (at best) or, at worst, put the publication down or close my browser window. Of course you want your annual report’s welcome to excite readers and motivate them to read from cover to cover. Roth makes the following suggestions for annual report opening messages:Keep it Short …a few succinct paragraphs, a half page, 200-300 words. …Hit the high points and move on.Keep the Salutation Simple - “Dear Friends”–or something similar–is great.Keep the Tone Conversational - Keep it professional and formal, yes, but not stilted or distant. Don’t be afraid to let some personality shine through either.Show Awareness…Talking about all the great things that happened without acknowledging others’ challenges during the long, hard recession felt wrong. …Phrases such as “In spite of difficult economic times, we were fortunate to … ” can go a long way.Keep it Candid and Transparent - Not a good idea to say how great the year was if it wasn’t. You can highlight the good while still being honest about areas you know need addressing. Your donors and other supporters want to know that you’re working to improve and that their time and/or money isn’t being wasted.End with a Positive Note and Call to Action - Hint at a few things you’re excited about for the coming year, keep your ending hopeful but not artificial, and invite readers to do something–join you on social media sites, sign up for your newsletter, make a donation before the year ends, volunteer at an event, respond to a survey. Instead of making them drowsy, get them engaged–not only in reading your annual report but supporting your causeAnnual Report ChecklistShare This checklist was designed as a guide to help those who are new to annual reports get the development process rolling.? It offers some general questions to consider as you develop your annual report production plan.?For a more detailed resource, you can read our guide, “Getting Started with Annual Reports” by visiting annual-reports.Have you identified a project leader? If there will be a number of people contributing to the annual report, it is a good idea to identify a project manager who can spearhead this and ensure production runs smoothly? Who needs to be involved? Do you have a committee to oversee the process? (e.g., Communications/Marketing committee) Should Board members be involved?Who (volunteers & staff) will be responsible for providing content?Who will be responsible to have final approval of content? Do you have a designer/PR agency or volunteer?What is your objective for this annual report?Who is your key audience?Have you clarified the key audience for your annual report - and do you know their preference for how they want to receive the report?Printed /mailed version?Post card notification with URL to online version?Online version only? no paper is still best.Email notification of online version?All versions have a place in your club. Printed versions for the agm, mailed out to important club members, Post card could have sponsors info on it. Must have online version.Have you created a content outline?Here are some of the things to consider including in your annual report:? President / Board Chair’s message? Executive Director’s message? Committee reports? Accomplishments (3 key achievements this year – examples of these “stories”)? Financial statements? Thanks (e.g., donors/members/volunteers, etc.)Have you identified Key Messages and/or Theme?Perhaps you already have key messages or you have a yearly theme.? If not, it might help to distil down 3-5?key accomplishments to focus on.Have you developed a budget?Costs will be dependent on the format you choose (see below) and whether you are using external talent, pro bono services and/or volunteers to write, design and produce the annual report.What format will you use?Remember that the format you choose will impact the budget as well as production time required.? Digital or online: YES? Postcard (usually with a link to a more extensive online report & financials)??Video ??Printed piece (size?? 4-colour; 3-colour; B&W?) YES MUST HAVE? A combination of the above?Have you created a production schedule/critical path?Here are a few things to consider as you create your schedule/plan:? Target date: Start by identifying the date you required the annual report (e.g., Annual General Meeting, etc.) – and create a work-back schedule from there.Here are some of the milestones to consider including on your critical path or work-back schedule (please note these are not necessarily in the order you’ll need):? Content outline developed? Key messages/theme finalized? Designer/Writer briefed? First rough draft of content gathered (e.g., from Board; Committee Chairs, staff, etc.)? Distribution process finalized (e.g., mail house etc.)? Financials received? Financial commentary/narrative description or visual representation drafted & approved?
