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 (e.g., descriptions of programs, allocation of funds, and recognition of donors and volunteers)
  • Blueprint of the structure for the annual report, including optimal content, length, and style
What we have in place
  • We currently have data about programs, photos and new brand guidelines, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have dedicated staff support, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $9,148 , allowing us to provide support to 2500 young adult cancer survivors who are strugging financially.

Over the past decade, we've awarded close to $1.5 million in grants to young adult cancer survivors, seen hundreds of success stories and watched our community of supporters grow steadily -- but we've never issued an Annual Report that accurately and compellingly communicates these accomplishments. What's more embarrassing is that we haven't publicly thanked our donors, beyond a mention at a specific event. We want to provide a report this year that does all of these things and makes people feel proud to be part of The SAMFund story.

Our mission

The Samfund is designed to help young adults recover from the financial impact of cancer treatment.

What we do

The Samfund currently provides three programs to help young adults get back on their feet after treatment:

1. Direct financial assistance: since 2005, close to $1.5 million in grants has been awarded to young adults across the country, covering a wide range of needs including living expenses, medical expenses, mental and physical health and wellness, family-building, and many more.

2. Online support: The Samfund hosts a free Webinar series called "Moving Forward With Your Financial Health," designed to provide concrete and reliable information and resources surrounding a range of practical and financial issues, including employment, insurance, medical debt and more. Webinar presentations are made by financial professionals as well as representatives from other cancer organizations.

3. Finances 101: A toolkit for young adults with cancer: Launched at the end of 2014, this new program is designed to help young adults make better-informed financial decisions during and after cancer treatment so that their financial recovery doesn't become a lifelong struggle. The toolkit is currently comprised of blog posts and Webinars on selected topics, and we are currently in the process of designing an interactive decision-making tool that will be housed on our website.

Through these programs, The Samfund helps young adults get back on their feet so that they can move forward towards their goals.
