Typically the annual report includes year end financial information, activities, programs funded, list of donors, and the board of directors names. It does not need to look like a report and can include pictures or other visuals to create and celebrate excitement for the foundation’s impact. It is best to be concise and not lengthy so it will be read.

I have also seen where annual reports are 1-3 page infographic reports and the platform utilized is Canva (www.canva.com) that helps with design and includes annual report template designs.
