Writing a Nonprofit Annual Report:
The E-Course

Annual reports can communicate your accomplishments, help you raise money, attract volunteers, educate influential decisionmakers, and more. But they can also be time-consuming and expensive to produce.

During our e-course, "Writing a Nonprofit Annual Report," you will learn how to create a great annual report that will be worth your time and money. We'll discuss the basic steps in creating an annual report, as well as all of the common sections you'll need to write, from the executive message to the donor acknowledgements. We'll discuss the importance of writing about accomplishments rather than activities and how to present financial information so your readers can understand it. We'll also look at some of the little extras that will make your annual report stand out.
