Development & Communications Manager Legal Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Good Annual Report Tool" September 29, 2020 4.0 The degree of customer support offered to us from the Yearly team was absolutely outstanding, and really helped make our report building process a positive one. This was my organization's first annual report, and we could not have asked for a better team to help us jump over that hurdle. Pros I liked how easy it was to build and customize our annual report without any background in coding or graphic/web design necessary. The drag-and-drop process certainly makes it simple for nonprofits or other small organizations that may not have the personnel for these tasks to still build their own beautiful and web-ready reports. There are also a lot of options offered for the different types of content you can place, which is helpful for making your report dynamic and unique. Cons As somebody who does have some experience in graphic and web design, I do wish the platform allowed for the option to include a greater degree of customization in the event that I wanted to break away from the preset layouts for any reason. I also wish there was a way to easily export the report into a printable PDF version more easily. Review Source Response from Yearly September 30, 2020 We are happy to help! MM Michaela M. Marketing and Community Outreach Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool for non-profit anual reports" November 14, 2022 5.0 Pros This product was a great tool for us when creating last years annual report. It was inexpensive, user friendly for myself as the creator, and a great experience for our network when reviewing the annual report. Overall a great site! Cons There were some glitches at the time we used it, but easy to fix and overall had a great user experience! Switched from [Canva](https://www.capterra.com/p/168956/Canva/) Canva's templates can be overwhelming and ultimately we liked yearly's sharing option with having an easy access link to our annual report better than a PDF from Canva. Review Source Response from Yearly November 15, 2022 Thank you for your review and we love your digital nonprofit annual report, Michaela! ET Erica T. Communications Specialist Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Satisfied first-time user" February 4, 2021 5.0 Overall, my experience with Yearly was great. I ran into issues and bugs along the way, but the support team was always very responsive and helpful and they would fix my issues in a timely manner. This is the first time we have used an online platform for our report, as we typically produce a PDF in-house, and it was time to try a fresh approach. My organization was thrilled with the final product. We also purchased a print-ready version from Yearly and that piece also turned out great. It was a very easy and pleasant experience working with the Yearly team. Pros Using Yearly for the first time was very easy and straight-forward for me as a graphic designer. I loved the many ways I could customize my report by adding multiple layouts and types of content. The drag and drop feature was very handy. We were really interested in incorporating video into our report, which was easy and seamless with Yearly. The way the information can be displayed is very compelling. We really liked the built in templates for info graphics. Cons I found that auto-save was tricky. We ended up building a few different layouts to see how things would look without having to delete and start over. I also found it difficult to navigate how the report looked in mobile versus desktop, which is common in any web-based platform. We had to make several changes to our layouts to find a compromise, but in the end it worked out. There are no specific instructions on how to customize sections so you have to get in there an play around with it for a while to figure it out. I am experienced with graphic design, web design and HTML, so it didn't take me long to get the hang of it. It might be more difficult for someone with limited experience in those areas. Review Source Response from Yearly February 5, 2021 Thank you for the feedback! LMT Li Ming T. Communications Officer Education Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sustainable, Easy to Use, and Cost-Effective Nonprofit Annual Report" October 9, 2020 5.0 During this virtual environment (and to be more sustainable) we were looking for programs that could help us bring our annual report virtual. We considered many options ranging from the typical PDF screen readers to the complicated fancy animated annual reports. I stumbled upon Yearly and after testing it out a bit, I took the plunge and trusted that Yearly could showcase our year of work. The basic package for nonprofits is unbeatable. If you are a nonprofit, you have to use Yearly! All our colleagues were so impressed with the result and we are excited to show the report our constituents! We saved a lot of money and a lot of trees this year. I am so grateful that \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and his team decided to create this program for us non-techy people who want fancy annual reports. Pros 1\. The best thing about Yearly is the customer service. We hope to present our organization's work in the best way possible so we had many questions, but all questions were answered quickly and solutions presented. 2. Yearly is so easy to use. The drag and drop functions with set templates make creating a customized annual report so easy displayed with photos and videos. 3. Yearly is cost effective. The free package for nonprofits is all you really need and of course if you need more assistance, there is pricing for it. Cons As Yearly has set structures and options for how to display text and images, there are some limitations to Yearly which I brought up to their customer service. Such as captioning photos and more options on how to display our stories (photo & text combinations) would be great. Review Source Response from Yearly October 12, 2020 We are glad you love your new digital annual report! AB Amy B. COO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Phenomenal, cutting-edge software" December 10, 2020 5.0 Overall, this is a phenomenal, cutting-edge software for any organization seeking to present information digitally and enhance the users experience. Pros Yearly provides and engaging manner in which to present an impactful and interactive annual report for all stakeholders. Cons There were definite challenges in year two of utilization - some minor kinks in the software that affected the ease in font size to keep the aesthetic consistent throughout the piece. The solution was to create images, which incorporated the appropriate font & size, to upload vs. utilizing the software alone. Review Source Response from Yearly December 17, 2020 Thank you and your report looks fanstic! DS Danielle S. Director of Donor Relations Marketing Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Very happy with our digital publication!" June 22, 2021 5.0 The customer service from beginning to end was fantastic and we were really happy with the overall look, feel, and functionality of the site. Pros In taking a large printed publication and turning it into a digital platform, I wanted something that was very streamlined, easy to digest for the end-user, and easy to implement for my team. The Yearly product checked all of these boxes. Cons I would have liked more robust analytics with this product. Review Source Response from Yearly July 20, 2021 Thank you for using Yearly for your nonprofit digital annual report! NB Nicole B. Director Arts and Crafts Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A great option" March 23, 2021 4.0 It's a great way to put together a nice-looking nonprofit annual report on a budget. Pros Yearly made it easy for me to put together a nice-looking annual report without having to turn to a designer. With my limited design skills and their clean-looking templates, it came together pretty quickly. I LOVE how easy it is to embed videos, social media posts, and other multimedia elements that really make this feel like a polished and dynamic annual report. The price point (Free for basic features) was great for my tiny team. Cons There seem to be some bugs or some clunky aspects to the customization of the design. Doing anything more than the basics would be tough. One possible workaround to this could be to design graphics or other elements in Canva and then add them in as images - that way, there would be more flexibility in the design. But the basic, clean design served my purposes well enough. Review Source Response from Yearly March 26, 2021 Thank you for using Yearly and we will be upgrading our platform throughout the year! AH Angie H. Director of Development Religious Institutions Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Yearly is the BEST!" December 23, 2020 5.0 Pros This was the first time Texas Hillel has done a digital Impact Report so we were quite nervous about the process and outcome. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] and the Yearly team were incredible in explaining our options and providing quaility customer service to ensure we had the tools and resources needed to ensure a high quality product. Also, the pricing was great and in line with our budget. We are beyond satisfied with the finished product and look forward to sharing it with our leadership and community. Cons We loved everything about the software and the process. Very user friendly. Review Source Response from Yearly January 27, 2021 Thank you! JB Jennifer B. CEO Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The "Canva" for Annual Reports!" September 2, 2020 5.0 I highly recommend Yearly. It's easy to use and will truly make your Annual Report shine! Pros I loved Yearly. I found the interface straightforward to use. There were multiple layout options, text choices, and different widgets you can embed. I was able to easily add a recent Facebook post and even include a poll in my report. You can upload your images or utilize their library which is quite extensive. There is an option to add buttons to donate and for my purposes, I adapted it into a contact button. Cons The one thing I noticed is that occasionally the application didn’t do exactly what you ask it to do on the first click. But if you click around and then try again, it works. But that is such a minor drawback to an incredible and powerful tool. Review Source Response from Yearly September 30, 2020 Thank you, we are happy to be of service! Amanda Elisha N. Director of Communications Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great platform! " April 15, 2021 5.0 Fast communication with Yearly and quick turnaround on designs. Pros We love the customizable options, the ability to include tweets, videos, and more. We plan to use as a virtual program for our major events in addition to our annual report. Cons The "click to continue" can be a little tricky to see. Review Source Response from Yearly April 16, 2021 Thank you we love working with your organization! JE Jill E. Engagement and Operations Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "ASYV Review of Yearly" August 31, 2020 5.0 By using Yearly, we significantly cut down on expenses related to sending an annual report. We have also benefited from being able to make changes in real time, which was never possible for us previously when creating a PDF report. I would highly recommend Yearly to anyone looking to generate a digital report. Pros Yearly checked all our boxes for creating a beautiful digital annual report. Not only is the Yearly platform free to use for nonprofits but it is simple to navigate and offered us the functionality to create a multimedia experience. We were able to integrate links and video for the first time ever. Cons To build a unique report, it's helpful to integrate your own graphics. For us this meant we had to work with an external designer since we don't have a designer on staff. Review Source Response from Yearly September 30, 2020 Thank you for using Yearly, your report is great! CK Callie K. Dir. of Marketing & Communications Philanthropy Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic Solution for Moving to Digital Reports" January 25, 2021 5.0 Very attentive and quick customer service! Pros Yearly is a great solution if you would like to move to a digital solution. This is the first year that we've offered a digital annual report, and we are very pleased with its overall look and feel.

Fund Development Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Great product" November 16, 2020 5.0 Yearly helped our nonprofit keep down the costs of producing an annual report while allowing us to distribute information to stakeholders efficiently, which we especially appreciated during COVID-19. Pros Yearly made our transition from print to digital reporting simple. The report was easy to share and we received lots of positive feedback about the ease of digesting the information. The layout looked great, too. Customer service was responsive, personable, and extremely willing to help out. We will definitely be using Yearly in the future! Cons The pre-built layouts are somewhat tricky to get used to, but with some time, the options become more intuitive.

We are also using Yearly to provide content-rich, visually stimulating reports on our annual conference. Pros Yearly allows us to tell our story and engage our community members in a dynamic, creative engaging manner. The software is very intuitive allowing those with average computer skills the ability to log in, start a report, and publish easily! Cons There are no negatives to Yearly to report!
