What is a community, if not the sum of its stories?

Thus begins the 2011 Annual Report for the Central Carolina Community Foundation. We were thrilled to work with photographer Jeff Amberg and Crowson Stone Printing on this project. Thanks, also, to CCCF’s Tonia Cochran, who wrote the profiles and was equally masterful in managing the project’s many moving parts.

(Turns out it does, in fact, take a village.)

Using an annual report to fortify your brand position

First let me say: Let’s hear it for organizations who continue to believe in the power of the thoughtful annual report. In the wake of annihilated budgets, so few companies commit the dollars to produce them anymore. But I believe there is great value in the process of taking stock of the year that has passed. Where were the successes? The surprises? What are the lessons learned?

We are fortunate to produce several annual reports at RP, including this one (just completed) for the Central Carolina Community Foundation. We thank Tonia Cochran of CCCF and our friends at R.L. Bryan for a wonderful collaborative experience. We are particularly pleased that JoAnn Turnquist, CEO of the foundation, is using the theme “Community Building / Building Community” in her many presentations to community partners and donors.

We believe an annual report is a great opportunity to look back, learn and celebrate. It is also an opportunity to fortify a brand position — an investment smart companies and nonprofits are continuing to make, even in this challenging economy.

Hot off the Press: 2009 annual report for Central Carolina Community Foundation. The design complements the new brand identity we developed for CCCF in 2008 and takes it a step further with a strong emphasis on typography and hand-drawn lettering. A short-fold cover allows the logomark to be visible while reading the first half of the book — we used the extra space on the press sheet to create bookmarks, which will be used to raise awareness of specific areas of need: Dropout Prevention, Homelessness Prevention and Illiteracy.

Thanks to everyone at Central Carolina Community Foundation and special thanks to Tonia Cochran and JoAnn Turnquist for being such great collaborators.
