We are getting ready to launch our online Member Directory later this month, but we need your help before we can do this. First, if you haven’t already registered as a user on our website, please do so soon. As previously noted we combined our membership process with website registration so we could provide you with member only content like this. If you haven’t responded to the email prompting you to set up your account and don’t have a log-in then your membership isn’t complete and you won’t be able to view the directory. The directory will include your name, email, organization and title (for some members this is a personal email). If you would like to opt out, change emails, are unsure of your member status or no longer have the invite email and need help in registering please contact the membership team at membership@ynpnphoenix.org

Event Description: How to Create a Nonprofit Annual Report People Will Actually Read
May 8, 2012 1:00 PM – 2:30
Learn More Here: http://charityhowto.com/upcoming_info.php?vid=438
Bonus: This webinar also includes a copy of Kivi Leroux Miller’s popular e-book, How to Write a Nonprofit Annual Report (a $37 value).
Your donors want to see some results before they’ll give again. And you know that producing an annual report is a nonprofit management best practice.
But that doesn’t mean you have to write and design a 20+ page tome. In fact, many donors say they’d prefer something much shorter, clearer, and more direct.
During the webinar, we’ll cover the basics of good nonprofit annual reports, including what to emphasize and what to leave out.
We’ll go over the critical differences between activities and accomplishments and cover the most frequently asked questions about common annual report sections like the letter from the director, the financial section, and donor lists – and whether you need them at all in your report.
But best of all, we’ll talk about how to share your accomplishments in ways your supporters both understand and appreciate in short formats that are easy to create both offline and online. We’ll look at how nonprofits are using a variety of new and engaging formats including two and four-page print reports, oversized postcards, video, slide-shows, and mini-sites.
Webinar Take-Aways
Where an annual report fits in your donor communications plan
The five things every annual report should include regardless of format
Answers to pesky questions like what you do with the list of donor names if you don’t do a long printed report, and when your annual report should be released
Samples and examples you can use to get started on your own report
