Annual Report Writing

Project details

What we need
  • Clear and effective copy for an annual report that illustrates the organization’s successes and plans for growth. Copy may include: programs descriptions, allocation of funds and recognition of donors and volunteers.
  • Suggestions on how to best structure an annual report including optimal length and style.
  • Volunteer will interview Executive Director and Board President to learn more about the organization.
  • Preferred but not required: some light design/layout work. 
What we have in place
  • We currently have key messages, statistics, and a list of events and programs, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a semi-organized image archive, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,148 , allowing us to serve hot meals to 3000 homeless people in our shelters.

After 40 years in existence, Berkeley Food & Housing Project has established itself as a go-to resource for homeless people in the East Bay Area. However, we have never published an annual report. We would like our inaugural report to highlight the growth of the past 2-3 years.

Our mission

To ease and end the crisis of homelessness in our communities.

What we do

Berkeley Food & Housing Project (BFHP) provides emergency food and shelter, transitional housing, permanent housing, and housing placement with support services to homeless individuals and families.

Founded in 1970, BFHP has worked to ease and end the crisis of homelessness for men, women, and children. With programs ranging from free meal service to permanent supportive housing, BFHP provides a continuum of care to accommodate a broad spectrum of specialized needs.

BFHP assists low-income and homeless individuals with needs and disabilities that are not effectively met by mainstream social services. The agency hallmark is to provide services with compassion to foster a nurturing, healing environment that can effectively end an individual's cycle of homelessness.
