Overview
Community Food Share’s 2023 annual report, reimagined by A-Train Marketing, combines financial transparency with a compelling narrative to elevate the story of their impact.
The Problem
Community Food Share required a refreshed approach for its annual report. A vital tool for reporting financials and achievements to stakeholders, the annual report also serves as a narrative that influences donor perception and board engagement. All are key elements to keeping the doors open and sustaining service to the community. Community Food Share needed a report that not only adhered to transparency standards but also effectively communicated their yearly accomplishments, the community’s support, and their commitment to accountability, all without overshadowing the genuine need for continued contributions.

The redesigned report walks a fine line, showcasing the organization’s professionalism and impactful use of funds, all while maintaining the essential call to ongoing community support.
