Annual review with Novamag

Why an annual review works as a digital magazine

Annual reviews by associations and organisations have to account for the year and build trust at the same time. As a digital issue they show people, missions and figures with video, galleries and charts, shareable with supporters, the press and politics. Nova AI takes care of structure and metadata, and PDF export delivers the document for the board.

Knowledge

Annual review as a digital magazine: what's behind it

The most important terms, figures and workflows, gathered on one page.

What is a digital annual review?

An annual review gives account and shows impact: figures, projects, people, thanks. As a digital magazine it appears under its own domain, every page responsive with its own URL, charts, video and a donation link. The ASB Landesverband Berlin publishes this way for members, funders and the public.

How do we show impact instead of just figures?

Counters for missions, volunteers and donations, charts for finances, features with images and video from projects, quotes from people who were helped. Mandatory disclosures like the balance sheet and governing bodies stay complete as chapters with their own URL.

How does the review lead to donations and memberships?

Donation and membership buttons sit right in the story, not just at the end; forms collect contacts for the newsletter and volunteering. Deep links in donation emails lead to the project. Tracking shows which stories drive clicks.

How do we reach funders, politics and the press?

Every page has a title, description and preview image for LinkedIn and email; the review gets sent as a deep link to funders, foundations, members of parliament and the press. Google finds chapters, and AI systems cite figures. Older reviews stay online as an archive.

How does the review come together with a small team?

Nova AI reads the previous year's review as a PDF, text from Word and figures from Excel, and sets the new issue in the association's colours, including metadata and alt text. The team updates and publishes. The PDF export delivers copies for the members' meeting and authorities.

What does a digital annual review cost?

Starter from €184 a month, Professional from €445 with your own domain, forms and Tracking Premium. Printing and mailing to members and funders largely disappears; donation money goes into projects instead of paper.
