PROJECT DETAILS
What We Need
- Clear and effective copy for an annual report that illustrates the Organization’s successes and plans for growth. Copy may include: programs descriptions, allocation of funds and recognition of donors and volunteers
- Blueprint of the structure for the annual report, including optimal content, length, and style
- Note: No design, graphics, or printing are included in this project
How This Will Help
Our organization has been in transition over the last few years and we have not done an Annual Report since 2014. We really want to do one for 2018, but there are resource constraints. HavServe has a long, rich history and our programs have real impact on the ground every single day but we need your assistance telling our story!
What We Have In Place
We currently have our vision, mission and plenty of programs to spotlight, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a rich network in Haiti where we currently have several active projects and programs and the ability to provide any other information you need.
