Project details

What we need
  • A compelling narrative, or set of stories
  • Persuasive copy that can be used in appeals to donors, annual reports, grant applications, and media relations
  • Popular examples: Organization's founding story, a program achievement or milestone, a look back at the past few years, organizational backgrounder, etc.
  • Note: This project is not intended to support your general content planning or marketing but there are several projects in our Marketing & Communications category which are a good fit!
Additional details

We are looking for someone to work with Earth Law Center to write our annual report. It will be shorter than in past years--perhaps ~5-7 pages--highlighting our achievements and a few of our forthcoming plans. You will not have to do design work; just the writing. Thanks!

What we have in place
  • We currently have activity summaries and press releases from 2019, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have last year's annual report as guidance, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,397 , allowing us to invest time and money in a new campaign to bring the Rights of Nature to Guatemala.

Many funders now want to see annual reports to help make funding decisions. Additionally, an annual report is a great way to convey to the public some of our recent accomplishments and overall vision.

Our mission

Earth Law Center catalyzes a global movement to rebalance the human-Nature relationship.

We do this by working to make ELC a household name, expanding the body of Earth Law, and providing tools for judges and lawyers to analyze in decisions affecting the natural environment.

What we do

Our continued well being depends on a paradigm shift in law from a human based one to a nature based one so ecological communities can regenerate and thrive.

This includes a wide range of activities from researching and writing part of an amendment being considered by the Oaxaca Parliament for rights of rivers, to Amicus Briefs (12+ submitted since 2018). This includes the first Earth Law textbook in the world, published by Wolters Kluwer as well as Earth Law frameworks for rivers, marine protected areas and communities.

Catchafire volunteers form a core part of ELC's volunteer leaders, and we've completed over 100+ projects. So thank you Catchafire!!!
