As we move into the last month of 2009 tomorrow, we start to reflect on the events and accomplishments of the past year. At Visual Voice, it has been a busy and exciting year so far. We have worked with organizations to help them communicate complex information in a meaningful way to the public, we have helped entrepreneurs define their identity and message; and we have launched our own website to help share our work and ideas with you.
We imagine you have also accomplished quite a bit this past year as well. Writing an annual report can be a great way to share accomplishments and gain support for your organization.
Here are some benefits of writing an annual report thanks to Nonprofit Marketing Guide.com:
- communicate not just your activities, but your accomplishments during the past year;
- convince existing supporters that their funds are being well spent and help you raise money by attracting new donors;
- educate community leaders and influential decision makers about your work on important issues;
- recognize special people including donors and volunteers; and
- serve as a historical record of your progress.
