Ann Green

The nonprofit annual report is a mixed bag. Organizations do need to share accomplishments and show gratitude to their donors, but many annual reports are done poorly.

Our work is transformed when we engage in the deeper, far more rewarding, process of getting to know our donors and finding out what they value.
