Volunteer: Graphic Design: Annual Impact Report

Volunteer Opportunity (Digital Impact Report Design)

This is a volunteer opportunity provided by Taproot Foundation, a nonprofit creating social change through pro bono connections.

We’re looking for a volunteer to create a professional-looking, digital-format annual impact report that communicates our impact to donors and stakeholders. This will be our first impact report. Our goal is to have a document that is meaningful to share with volunteers, funders, and potential funders showcasing our work and its impact in an aesthetically pleasing way. The engagement will occur in four phases over four to five weeks.

Our first session will be a brainstorm, where we will discuss the key metrics and information we would like to highlight. We can also point you to the impact reports of some of our peer organizations. In our second session together, you’ll give us a preview of the preliminary design, and we will provide feedback. We may need one or more additional feedback sessions before our time together culminates with you providing us with the final deliverable in a working format that we could edit in the future and a digital format we can easily share with our stakeholders.

This report will be no longer than 12 pages.

Our ideal volunteer has experience designing brochures or reports and will be prepared to show us their portfolio of design examples. We hope you can spend 15‑30 hours over four to five weeks.

We are one of the only legal services organizations to focus on economic justice issues, including consumer debt, bankruptcy, foreclosure, trusts and estates, etc. Being able to show how these "pocketbook issues" are critical to our clients is important for us to fundraise to be able to help more low-income Brooklynites achieve economic security.

We’ll share our logo and visual branding guidelines with you. We also will take responsibility for providing you with compelling context and data for our report as well as events and stories we’d like to highlight and some images. We’ve also gathered some examples of impact reports we like for your reference.
