Annual Reports

We know how to bring your annual report to a new level. We specialized in innovative, creative solutions that help you to cost-effectively get the most bang for your limited budget.

You might be tempted to work directly with a freelance graphic designer but with James Howe as your project manager and creative director, we’re confident that you’ll get a better product. A good graphic designer can always make your plan and copy look good. A great graphic designer can help you think about options you might not consider.

But it takes a firm like Communicate & Howe that understands charities and nonprofits to figure out the best way to tell your stories and produce a quality finished product. We can create a report that that not only looks good but effectively tells your target audience about your organization and builds a greater level of support.

If you bring us in at the planning stage, we can apply our nonprofit/charity experience and communications expertise.

Here are examples of what we offer you. We can:

  • determine specs such as considering non-standard sizes and formats
  • develop a creative direction
  • create a rough mock-up for you to approve
  • provide exceptional writing and editing
  • take care of your photography
  • determine mailing/distribution options and costs
We can also assist with extending the reach of the documents key messages and stories through making the report use-friendly online, made into a newsletter and enhanced with video.
