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 a list of major projects and accomplishments from FY18, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have financial statements and copies of previous years' annual reports, 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 more direct financial planning services to schools over the summer break.

The Boston Educational Development Fund serves a number of different groups--teachers, principals, students, individual donors, corporate partners, and non-profits. It is vital that our annual report highlights the value of our work to each of these key stakeholders. The report is also critical in educating and attracting potential partners and funders.
