Transform your annual report into an impact video

Your annual report is the result of months of hard work — probably at least three to four months of hard work. And in that time, you collected and wrote stories that showcased your impact, synthesized data into numbers that made sense for your audience, and created a design that truly told your story. That was a lot of moving pieces to pull together!

And now that you’ve finished, you have a beautiful, polished digital PDF (and maybe a printed copy, too) that you can use throughout the year to:

  • Thank supporters by demonstrating the impact of their contributions

  • Help in completing grant and other funding applications

  • Give to board members or staff as an onboarding tool

  • Guide strategic planning

…and so much more.

But if you want to make an even bigger splash — and reach an even wider audience — then consider turning that final PDF into an impact video. An impact video transforms your polished annual report into a dynamic, engaging story that stakeholders will watch, remember, and share. By combining visuals, motion graphics, voiceover, and real voices from your community, your work comes to life in a format that travels across multiple platforms. 

Why invest in an impact video?

Bring data to life. An impact video transforms statistics and accomplishments into a living narrative by pairing them with visuals, motion graphics, voiceover, and real voices from your own community.

Build Connections. A video takes that beautiful PDFs one step further, deepening trust and support among funders, members, and partners. Video gives your work a heartbeat.

Maximize Your Investment. Adding an impact video to your annual report creates a dynamic asset for ongoing communications.

Strengthen fundraising and advocacy. Whether it’s donors, grantmakers, or policymakers, video helps your message cut through the noise and inspire action. When your video tells a compelling story, fundraising goals and advocacy initiatives suddenly have a lot more momentum behind them.

Broadcast on Multiple Channels. An impact videos don’t live in one place. Show it at your AGM, publish it on social media, embed it on your website, or drop it into your newsletter and funding applications. The flexibility means your story reaches people wherever they are, giving them another way to consumer your information. 

In short, a video-only annual report doesn’t replace a digital PDF report, it amplifies it! 

  • Use your PDF annual report to send to funders and major donors; use your video annual report on your social media channels to reach your every-dollar-matters donors. 

  • Use your PDF annual report as a future-planning and onboarding tool; use your video annual report to kick off an event or gala.
