When you combine data with stories, donors get both the facts and the bigger picture.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Share stories from people\u00a0you\u2019ve\u00a0helped along with your program numbers to help donors feel connected and see the wider impact. This approach works well for donors, foundations, and sponsors.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-46651-109 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"bde-heading-46651-110 bde-heading\">\nUse Visuals to Make Information Easier to Understand\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-rich-text-46651-111 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Most donors focus on the main sections of a progress report, especially the numbers and charts that show how their support is being used. Many organizations use charts to make financial information clearer. Infographics can highlight program results, and photos give\u00a0real evidence\u00a0of the\u00a0nonprofit\u2019s\u00a0work.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The goal is not to use as many graphics as possible. Each visual should help answer a key question about your mission, impact, or\u00a0future plans.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">For example, instead of showing a full page of financial numbers, a simple chart that breaks down how funding was divided among programs can help donors quickly see where resources went. Similarly, an infographic showing year-to-year growth can highlight progress and momentum.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;335559739&quot;:0}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-46651-112 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"bde-heading-46651-113 bde-heading\">\nBuild Trust Through Transparency\u202fand Consistency\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-rich-text-46651-114 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Being transparent and consistent helps build lasting trust with donors. In your annual report, clearly show where your funding comes from, how you use resources, and how these investments support your mission. Share\u00a0financial details\u00a0in a way that is easy for donors to follow.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Consistent communication\u00a0about successes, challenges, and lessons learned shows that you are accountable and lead responsibly. When you openly discuss your progress and areas for improvement, you build credibility and show supporters that you are committed to transparency and making a lasting impact.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-div-46651-115 bde-div\">\n  \n  \n\t\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"bde-heading-46651-116 bde-heading\">\nRecognize the People Who Make the Mission Possible\n<\/h2><div class=\"bde-rich-text-46651-117 bde-rich-text breakdance-rich-text-styles\">\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Annual reports give you a chance to publicly thank the people who made the year's successes possible. By recognizing donors, volunteers, board members, staff, and community partners, you show that your organization\u2019s goals\u00a0matter\u00a0and that achievements are valued.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This section also shows how much support your mission has.

your goals, the next step could be\u00a0to invite them to\u00a0make\u00a0a donation, sign\u00a0up as a monthly supporter, volunteer\u00a0for the next nonprofit event,\u00a0joining\u00a0a corporate
