Serving up stress-free Annual Reports for nonprofits
Say When Design Studio + J. Ward Solutions are pairing up to give you the best of the best in writing and design. If 2026 fundraising is a priority for you, consider how a compelling and polished Annual Report might make that easier.
How Stress-Free Is It?
Simply drag and drop photos, financials, and program descriptions into a shared folder, and we'll do all the rest: writing and design so you can raise more funds and win sponsors.
Using the impact data you already have, we'll tell an authentic story that guides readers to action with integrity.
A 16–24 page fully designed digital PDF
Strategic storytelling + grant-smart writing
Data visualization + editorial design
Two full rounds of revisions included
30 Day delivery guaranteed
We'll ask for 15 contacts - your biggest fans. Scheduling 15m interviews, we'll gather stories of impact. We'll weave these stories into the narrative of your Annual Report and send you transcribed summaries.
For commercial, offset, or specialty printing. We can create print ready files with soft touch coating, spot gloss, or even gold/silver foil. You’ll get a packaged InDesign file, printing instructions, and PDFs with bleed + crop marks for printing.
We’ll create a mirror of the report, but as a landing page hosted on your own website. This is a great way to share your impact with casual website wanderers or send it directly to potential donors and partners.

Nope! It’s a fully custom branded document. We'll honor your brand fonts, colors, themes, and styles. Building from scratch, we'll craft something unique just for you.
Not unless you want to! We handle strategy, writing, and design so you really can focus on other things.
A few assets you likely already have on hand:
We'll handle all of the scheduling, coordinating a survey that works for your 15 biggest fans. Meeting with your people over a phone call or over Google Meets, we'll collect stories of impact with objectivity, integrity, and compassion.
At the end, we'll share a summary document with quotes and weave those stories into the Annual Report, aligning your promises with real testimonials.
Yes, 2 full rounds of revisions are included: 2 within the writing phase with Julie, and 2 within the design phase with Hannah.
We'll begin with language: writing a polished draft of the report. Working with Julie, you'll have two rounds of revisions to get it nice and tight.
Once that's finished, Hannah will begin designing the report in Adobe InDesign. You'll get a link to review a PDF online, and you'll get two rounds of revisions again, making those final polishing edits to the report.
Absolutely. If you choose to add "Pre-Press For Print," Hannah will create print ready and packaged files for commercial or offset printing.
To get print files started, Hannah will need to know if you plan to do any specialty printing - soft touch coating, spot gloss, embossing, foiling, or even diecut. If you plan to add this, here's a Checklist PDF with more information.
We begin in one of two ways: you can give editor access to Hannah for your website or share your login credentials, which will be kept confidential and encrypted.
The landing page will be created to best mirror the flow and feeling of the digital version. However, the two are different mediums and some shifts may occur because of software limitations.
It can be anywhere on your site. If you'd like it to appear in the navigation menu, we can do that or perhaps you'd rather have it linked in the footer. A sub-footer is also a good way to direct attention. Popups, dropdowns, and hover elements are also an option.
Last, it doesn't have to be linked on your website at all. Meaning, we don't have to have a button or link to click anywhere. You could simply email a link to prospects and community partners. If someone didn't have the link, they wouldn't know about the page.
Nope, it'll be fully customized for your website and brand. The layout will be optimized for accessibility, SEO, and responsive resizing so that it looks good on every screen for every viewer.
