Annual Impact Report Design

We're 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.

The 15 White Coats is a national nonprofit rooted in equity, empowerment, and excellence. We’re reimagining the future of medicine and literacy by:

Equipping classrooms across the country with culturally relevant books through our Resilient Readers Book Club

Empowering underrepresented students to pursue medicine through our Funding the Future Physicians initiative

Cultivating pride, resilience, and visibility through programs like the HBCU Tethered Tour and Virtual Readers Club

Your design work will become the official record of the change we’re creating—one that funders, legislators, community leaders, and educators will use to decide how they invest in equity, education, and health. This isn’t just a report—it’s a movement captured in visuals, metrics, and lived experiences.

What You’ll Do
Join us for an initial brainstorming session to determine key messages and impact highlights

Design a professional and engaging 12-page digital report, with 1–2 feedback sessions to fine-tune your vision

Deliver both an editable working file (e.g., Canva, InDesign, or Google Slides) and a polished PDF ready for distribution

Contribute 15–30 hours over 4–5 weeks

The Impact You’ll Make
By volunteering your time and talent, you’ll be helping us:

Elevate the voices of students and physicians from historically marginalized communities

Secure future funding and partnerships that expand our impact

Inspire a new generation of changemakers who see themselves in the stories we tell

This project is more than design—it’s your chance to contribute to a future where medicine and literacy are more inclusive, equitable, and representative. Let your creativity serve a cause that matters.

We'll share our logo and visual branding guidelines with you. We also have will take responsibility for writing the copy and providing you with compelling data for our report as well as stories we'd like to highlight and some images. We've also gathered some examples of impact reports we like for your reference.
