Are you working on your annual report right now?

Do you want to have a nonprofit publication that has sponsors and foundations sitting up and taking notice?

Do you want to have an annual report that works FOR YOU?

Do you want to get more donors?

Do you want to help corporations and foundations trust you?

Do you want to appreciate the donors you have? You need a better annual report NOW.

If you’re looking for inspiration, a way to cut costs on your annual report, and the graphic design training that you never had, you’ve come to the right place!

When I first started working for nonprofits, I was supposed to make an annual report for this national nonprofit on how their grant money had been used. I had to call the affiliates and ask them what they did with the money. This internship was so confusing because no one gave me any direction about what they wanted for the annual report.

A couple years later, working at a domestic violence nonprofit, I made an annual report all on my own. It was terrible. The margins were all wrong, the colors were bad, the fonts were almost unreadable and not consistent, and the cover, well, let’s not even go there.

Since that time I’ve made a few more annual reports, and I got better and better at it each time. But what if you don’t have the luxury of time to get better at making annual reports?

I know what it’s like to get thrown into a fundraising job and have people tell you to “just do it” for the annual report.

You’ll learn how to make an annual report that will get you donations. One that will help you show the community that you are using their money wisely.

What are people saying about this presentation?

“That was a wonderful presentation, extremely valuable. As a first time annual report maker I learned so many tips to keep in mind while making this first one and ideas for the future. Mazarine explained the material clearly and very well organized. The information about the donor portion of the annual report is something I will definitely take away. My organization has not included anything but lists of donors but the presentation made me realize the importance of adding the donor experience.” –Laura Staley, DePaul Treatment Centers, Portland, Oregon

“Mazarine was very helpful and this presentation was extremely valuable. I enjoyed that she used some of her own projects to explain the good and the bad. I learned some of the key items to include in the annual report, as well as those items that we tend to think should be included, but really just take up valuable space. ” –Leni Corbett, Jesuit Academy, Omaha, NE

“She was great. I found this presentation extremely valuable and I would recommend it to others. Very informative. Can’t wait to pass information along to my boss.” –Phillip Bloch, American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry

“Mazarine Treyz was clear, concise, enthusiastic and approachable. I learned a lot about how important planning is, not just doing your reports like they`ve always been done. Establishing standards. Rethinking what you want to get across. And displaying things visually that are more engaging and diverting!” I found her presentation extremely useful and would highly recommend this presentation to others. -Jessica Perkins, Canada

“Mazarine did an excellent job of communicating the right way, and the wrong way, of doing things. I loved that she used concrete examples for readability. I learned the importance of compiling information throughout the year so as not to get caught at the deadline. And I loved her tips for using report as a fundraising tool, as well as her tangible suggestions for resources. Well done.” –Barth Gillan, Zeta Psi Fraternity of North America, Montreal, Canada
