Process

From messy indicators to a donor-ready pack

This is the path every Signal Flowbase commission follows when we build nonprofit impact dashboards and donor reporting visuals — so you know who is in the room and when decisions happen.

01 · Briefing

We meet your development and program leads, review prior reports, and list the five questions donors ask most. Out of scope work is named on day one.

02 · Indicator map

Raw tables become a one-page map linking goals, measures, and chart candidates. Gaps are marked before any visual polish begins.

03 · Visual draft

You receive a complete pack: primary dashboard, supporting figures, and captions. Feedback arrives as a single annotated review, not scattered comments.

04 · Handover

Final PDFs, editable sources, and a short maintenance note so next year’s numbers can be swapped without redrawing the whole story.

What we need from you

Clean indicator extracts, gift-category totals, brand colors, and photography rights. If finance and program teams disagree on a definition, we pause and document the decision rather than invent a compromise chart.
