"A nonprofit (annual) report—a yearly overview of an organization’s financials, accomplishments, updates, and more—must be designed well. Unlike Form 990, an annual report can be considered a marketing tool.
In order to garner donations, supporters must be able to trust the organization they’re contributing to. When nonprofits publish reports that are poorly designed, unprofessional, and don’t match their organizational brand, supporters can question the validity of an organization. Well-designed annual reports help build trust, and remind readers of your mission." - Josh Kligman is the CEO of Storyraise
