Byerly Foundation Annual Report
Client
Byerly Foundation
Brianna Douglas, executive director of The Byerly Foundation in Hartsville, SC, sought our expertise in creating the organization’s 30-year annual report. We had developed their annual report for the previous year, but celebrating 30 years made this significant project even more special.
We knew that three decades of positive impact on a community deserved a star-studded showpiece to highlight the organization’s philanthropic spirit, mission, actions, and milestone reflections, so we began by crafting a plan.
We kicked things off with an interview with the organization’s former executive director, who was a maestro at recalling stories of convening, connecting, and collaborating through the years. We interviewed community leaders whose organizations benefited from The Byerly Foundation’s philanthropic support and relied on a special-edition 30-year video featuring additional interviews, facts, and examples that was simultaneously underway.
We outlined a thematic flow for the report before writing the content, which included feature stories, program snapshots, grantee spotlights, audited financials, and a 30-year impact overview of the organization’s work in education, social needs, and economic development.
Once we received the executive director’s content approval, we designed a 24-page anniversary report with headlines, photography, and related stylistic elements to create a magazine-style showpiece worthy of a 30-year milestone.
The Work
We’ve enjoyed working with Kim and her team on our annual reports. Their creativity truly sets them apart. Each brochure is eye-catching and beautifully crafted. The team is incredibly responsive and offers thoughtful advice and valuable suggestions throughout the process. The final products not only look fantastic, but they compellingly tell our story.
