🌟 Annual reports don’t have to be a chore to read. In fact, when thoughtfully designed, they can be powerful tools for nonprofits to raise more funds, attract new board members, and make donors feel truly valued and excited about their impact. A well-designed report doesn’t just look good; it tells a story that resonates and inspires. At Beacon, we’ve seen first-hand how impactful an expertly crafted annual report can be. Our recent work on the Real Estate Foundation of BC's annual report, for example, transformed it from a raw document into a publication that not only captivated but also informed. It's about creating a piece that the team feels proud of, and that supporters are eager to read. Curious about how we turned the ordinary into the extraordinary? Take a peek at our before-and-after journey, and see how design can elevate your nonprofit’s story. #AnnualReports #NonprofitDesign #Storytelling #ImpactfulDesign

🌿 Meet Alma Tabareh, Graphic Designer at The Beacon Design Collective! We’re thrilled to spotlight Alma, one of our talented graphic designers here at Beacon! Bringing her creative vision and passion for social and environmental impact to every project, Alma truly embodies our values. ✨ What makes Alma a great fit? Alma shares our mission of making a positive difference in the world through design. Her dedication and perspective align with everything we stand for. ✨ Personal values she holds close: “Don’t judge someone until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes…or better yet, don’t judge them at all.” ✨ Who would she take to dinner? While many might choose a famous figure, Alma would trade all of those invites to sit down with her grandmother, a woman she never had the chance to meet. Alma’s grandmother lived in Iran before the Revolution, and she’d love to hear her stories and connect with her legacy. We’re grateful to have Alma’s talent and heart on our team! #TeamFeature #DesignForGood #SocialImpact
