Graphic Design: 12-Page Annual Impact Report

Ms. JD is seeking a talented and passionate volunteer to help us showcase the impact of our programs and initiatives throughout 2026 through the creation of an impact report.

As a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to the success of women in law, we aim to produce a comprehensive and visually engaging impact report that highlights our achievements, shares compelling stories from our community, and communicates our value to stakeholders. We are looking for a volunteer to create a professional-looking, digital-format annual impact report that communicates our impact to donors and stakeholders.

The engagement will occur in four phases over four to five weeks. Our first session will be a brainstorm, where we will discuss the key metrics and information we would like to highlight. In our second session together, you'll give us a preview of the preliminary design, and we will provide feedback. We may need one or more additional feedback sessions before our time together culminates with you providing us with the final deliverable in a working format that we could edit in the future and a digital format we can easily share with our stakeholders. This report will be no longer than 12 pages.

Our ideal volunteer has experience designing brochures or reports and will be prepared to show us their portfolio of design examples. We hope you can spend 15-30 hours over four to five weeks.

Ms. JD is a national nonprofit on a mission to advance women in the legal profession — and we are looking for a talented graphic designer to help us tell that story beautifully. As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary and reflect on a landmark year that crossed the $1 million revenue threshold for the first time, we need an Annual Impact Report that does justice to the women and organizations who made it possible. Our programs — LaddHer Up, the Limitless Awards & Gala, Determined to Rise, and the Law Student Leadership Academy — have collectively reached 500+ women associates from 100+ law firms and 200+ general counsel nationwide, and this report is the document that brings all of that impact to life for donors, corporate partners, law firms, and the broader legal community. We need a designer who can transform program data, participant stories, and milestone moments into a visually compelling narrative that reflects the professionalism and ambition of the women we serve.

Your work will not just sit in an inbox — it will be a fundraising tool, a recruiting asset, and a celebration of two decades of advancing women in law. If you believe design has the power to move people to action, we want you on our team.

We have already gathered photos and general information from this year's events, which will serve as the foundation for our 2024 impact report. This material includes highlights from our key programs and testimonials from participants. While we have made a start by collecting these essential elements, we have not yet progressed beyond this initial phase. We are also recruiting another Taproot volunteer to assist with the copywriting for this piece.

Implementation Plan Once Complete:
Once the impact report is finalized, we plan to use it as a critical tool for engaging with both current and potential donors. The report will be shared through various channels, including direct mailings, digital newsletters, and our website. We believe that a well-crafted and visually compelling report will significantly enhance our fundraising efforts, helping us to illustrate the tangible impact of our work and inspire continued and increased support. Our goal is to ensure that the report not only reflects our accomplishments but also serves as a powerful narrative that encourages ongoing investment in our mission.
