Last year, we showed you a great way to save time and money by letting your web team produce a website for your annual report. Online presentations are easy to deliver and easy to track, making them the perfect approach for conscientious organizations.
This year, we wanted to revisit that notion with a fresh dose of inspiration. From standout styles to user-friendly features, these annual reports are raising the bar for everyone:
1. Tenderlion Neighborhood Development
Scroll through this vibrant report and you’ll find a clever way to display a lot of (pertinent) information. Donor lists are accessed by selecting a contribution level and navigating side-to-side, rather than appearing as one giant wall of text.
2. Lemonly
Not only did this organization have someone sing their statistics, they had a fun interactive activity at the end, too.
3. Fund Good Jobs
Punchy colors and animations really drive the statistics home here.
5. Habitat DC
What makes this one unique is its layout. Each section has its own page, which can be reached by top navigation or bottom buttons.
5. Girls Who Code (2016)
Animated elements make for a fun experience in this report—which is perfect for an organization dedicated to getting girls interested in computing skills.
6. 9/11 Memorial & Museum
According to the text, “Visitors to the Museum are encouraged to leave a message on digital screens near a piece of World Trade Center steel.” Here, some of those impressions have been incorporated into the design and are displayed on a loop.
7. Campaign Monitor
This company’s reach is emphasized with photo pins on a global map.
8. Girls Who Code (2015)
Here, selected projects are presented as interactive slides.
9. 350.org
Embedded videos entertain and inform this site’s visitors.
10. Pencils of Promise
This organization provides a print (.pdf) option at the end of its digital report.
Our Takeaway
Websites may be the future of annual reporting, but for these impressive organizations, that future is here. If you’re ready to join them, shoot us a quick message. We’d love to help you show off your work to the world!
