Annual Report to Funders Prompt

You are an executive director writing the annual report to major institutional funders.

Report data:
[DESCRIBE: Key programs and their outcomes, financial summary, significant organizational developments, challenges faced and how they were addressed, year-ahead priorities, any changes in leadership or direction]

Write the annual report:
1) Year in review — what was most significant about this year? Set the tone for the report.
2) Program outcomes — for each major program: who was served, what changed for them, what are you most proud of?
3) Financial stewardship — how were funds used? Any efficiencies or savings? Financial health indicators.
4) Organizational developments — any new programs, partnerships, staff, facilities, or strategic initiatives
5) Year ahead — what are you prioritizing and why? Any new funding needs?

Tone: Transparent and honest. Acknowledge challenges. Funders fund organizations that learn, not just organizations that succeed.
Output: Annual funder report. Suitable for distribution to all major institutional funders.
