    AltruAI for Nonprofits: AI Annual Report and Impact Report Builder

    Dreading annual report season? AltruAI is built exclusively for nonprofits: you feed the AI your website URL and supporting documents, it generates a structured first draft in minutes, and you customize it with nonprofit-specific modules for donor lists, financials, board members, and geographic impact maps. Publish as an interactive web report and a PDF, all without a graphic designer.

    What It Does

    Spending weeks every year wrestling with Canva or Google Slides to put together your annual report? AltruAI removes most of that friction. You provide your website URL and supporting documents, the AI generates a structured first draft following nonprofit annual report best practices, and you refine it using a drag-and-drop editor designed for non-designers.

    The platform handles both digital and print output from the same report. Publish an interactive, embeddable web version that donors can browse online, and export a PDF for mailing or email attachments. Nonprofit-specific modules built into the platform, including donor recognition lists, financial summaries, geographic impact maps, board listings, and a "By the Numbers" stats block, save hours of custom layout work that general design tools require you to build from scratch.

    AltruAI is narrowly focused on this one use case: nonprofit annual and impact reports. That focus means the AI draft generation, the module library, and the publishing workflow are all optimized for the nonprofit sector specifically, rather than being repurposed from a generic design tool.

    Best Use Cases

    • Annual reports and impact reports
    • Year-end donor reports
    • Grant funder reports
    • Program outcome summaries needing both web and PDF formats

    Ideal For

    • Executive Directors
    • Development Directors
    • Communications Managers
    • Program Officers who own annual reporting

    Key Features for Nonprofits

    AI Draft Generation

    Feed the AI your website URL and documents, and it produces a structured first draft in minutes. You skip the blank-page problem entirely and start with a report that follows nonprofit annual report best practices from the outset.

    Nonprofit-Specific Modules

    Pre-built sections for donor lists, financial summaries, board member listings, geographic impact maps, testimonials, and a "By the Numbers" statistics block. These are designed for nonprofits, not repurposed from generic templates.

    Interactive Web Publishing

    Publish your report as a live, embeddable web page donors can browse on any device. Embed it directly on your website or share via link. No separate web development needed, and reports are mobile-responsive out of the box.

    Dual Output: Web + PDF

    Build once and publish in two formats: an interactive web report for digital sharing and a PDF for print mailings or email attachments. Both are generated automatically from the same report, eliminating duplicate work.

    Embedded Donation Links

    Add donation calls-to-action directly inside your report. Donors reading about your program outcomes can give immediately without leaving the report, turning your impact story into an active fundraising tool.

    Brand Customization

    Upload your logo and choose your colors and fonts. Every module reflects your organizational identity consistently across all sections, so reports look professional without needing a designer's involvement.

    How AltruAI Uses AI

    AltruAI's AI is primarily a content generation tool focused on getting you past the blank page. Understanding what is and isn't AI-powered helps set realistic expectations for what you'll get from the platform.

    What's AI-Powered

    Content Draft Generation

    The AI reads your website and uploaded documents (past reports, program summaries, financial statements), extracts key information about your mission and impact, and generates a structured draft following nonprofit annual report best practices. This turns hours of blank-page writing into a starting point you refine in an afternoon.

    Prompt-Guided Setup

    A step-by-step prompt sequence walks you through content creation, asking targeted questions about your programs, financials, and impact to help shape the AI draft. This ensures the output is tailored to your organization's specific context rather than being purely generic.

    What's Not AI (Standard Features)

    • The drag-and-drop editor, templates, charts, and maps are standard design tools, not AI-powered
    • Data entry for financials, donor lists, and program stats requires manual input; the AI does not pull numbers from your CRM or accounting software
    • PDF and web publishing are standard export features, not AI-driven

    Important: The AI draft is a starting point, not a finished product. Plan to spend time editing for accuracy, tone, and your organization's voice. AI content quality also depends on how much useful information is on your website. If your website is thin on program details, the draft will be more generic and require more editing.

    Real-World Nonprofit Use Case

    From Three Weeks to Three Days

    How AltruAI changes the annual report workflow

    A community health nonprofit with a two-person communications team spent three to four weeks on their annual report every year: writing from scratch, designing in Canva, wrestling with PDF formatting, and building a separate web page for online sharing.

    With AltruAI, they feed the AI their website URL and last year's report PDF. Within minutes, a structured draft appears with sections for their mission statement, program outcomes, financial summary, and donor acknowledgments. They spend two days editing rather than three weeks writing, enter their actual data into the financials and stats modules, customize the colors and logo, and publish both the web report and a PDF in one click.

    The interactive web version gets embedded directly on their website for the annual fund campaign. Donors reading about program outcomes see a donation button right in the report and can give immediately without leaving the page.

    Nonprofit Pricing

    It's worth contacting AltruAI directly to ask about nonprofit pricing, particularly for multi-year subscriptions or volume arrangements. Many early-stage, nonprofit-focused tools offer informal discounts that aren't listed on their pricing page.

    Learning Curve

    Beginner

    Non-technical staff can use AltruAI effectively within 1-2 hours

    Time to First Value

    AI draft generated: 15-30 minutes
    Editing and customization: 1-3 days
    Full report published: 2-5 days total

    Technical Requirements

    • No coding required
    • No design experience needed
    • Works in all modern browsers
    • Only 1 editor at a time (no simultaneous collaboration)

    Pro Tip

    Before starting, spend an hour updating your organization's website with current program descriptions and impact statistics. The AI draft quality improves dramatically when your website has rich, current content to draw from.

    Integration & Compatibility

    Platform Availability

    Where and how you can use AltruAI

    • Web-based, no software installation required
    • Works in all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge)
    • Published reports are mobile-responsive for donors viewing on phones
    • Reports can be embedded directly on your website
    • White label URLs available on all plans

    No Third-Party Integrations

    Current limitation to know before committing

    AltruAI does not currently connect to any external platforms. This means all data must be entered or pasted manually:

    • No CRM connections (Salesforce, Bloomerang, DonorPerfect)
    • No accounting software integration (QuickBooks, Sage Intacct)
    • No email platform integration

    Pros & Cons

    Pros

    • Purpose-built for nonprofits, not repurposed from a generic design tool
    • Very low barrier: non-designers can produce professional-looking reports without outside help
    • Both web and PDF from one build, saving significant time vs. maintaining separate versions
    • Nonprofit-specific modules (donor recognition, financials, board listings) that general tools require manual workarounds for
    • Embedded donation links turn your impact report into an active annual fund tool
    • Free trial available with no credit card required

    Cons

    • No integrations: all financial and program data must be entered manually
    • No nonprofit discount despite being exclusively nonprofit-focused
    • Only one user can edit at a time; real-time co-editing is not yet available
    • Very narrow focus: does one thing (annual reports) well, nothing else
    • Early-stage company with limited third-party reviews and less certainty about long-term support
    • At $45-99/month, cost is meaningful for organizations that only publish one report per year

    Common Pitfall: Organizations sometimes expect the AI draft to be ready to publish immediately. It is not. The AI generates a solid structural starting point, but the draft will need significant editing for accuracy, specificity, and your organization's voice. Plan for 1-3 days of focused editing time after the initial draft is generated.

    Alternatives to Consider

    Canva Magic Studio - Best for Budget-Constrained Nonprofits

    The most widely used design tool with thousands of templates and free access for nonprofits through TechSoup. Lacks nonprofit-specific modules and AI draft generation, but is free and has a much larger template library. Best if budget is the primary constraint or your team has some design comfort. The trade-off: you'll spend more time building the structure from scratch.

    Storyraise (formerly Yearly) - Best for CSV Data Import

    A direct competitor purpose-built for nonprofit digital reports. Supports CSV data uploads for donor lists and provides nonprofit-expert support during onboarding. Good alternative if you want more data import flexibility or a more hands-on onboarding experience from the vendor team.

    Storydoc - Best for Reader Engagement Analytics

    Interactive report creation platform with AI customization and reader engagement analytics showing how donors engage with your content. Broader use case beyond annual reports. Better if you want to understand which sections of your report donors actually read before deciding what content to prioritize next year.

    Why choose AltruAI instead: If you want a tool that handles both web and PDF from one build, includes nonprofit-specific modules out of the box, and has AI that understands the structure of nonprofit annual reports specifically, AltruAI is the most purpose-built option currently available.

    Getting Started

    1

    Start the Free Trial

    15 minutes

    Sign up at altru.ai with no credit card required. Select a template that fits your organization's style. You'll immediately see the range of nonprofit-specific modules available before committing to a subscription.

    Feed the AI Your Content

    30 minutes

    Enter your website URL and upload supporting documents (last year's report, program summaries, financial statements). The more you give the AI to work with, the better your draft will be. Organizations with thin websites get more generic drafts.

    Edit and Customize the Draft

    1-3 days

    Review the AI-generated draft section by section. Enter accurate financial data into the financials module, upload your donor list for the recognition section, and add photos and program statistics. This is where most of your time will go.

    4

    Publish and Share

    1 hour

    Once you subscribe, publish your interactive web report and download the PDF in one click. Embed the web report on your website's impact page and share the link in your annual appeal emails. Add a donation button in the report to convert readers to donors.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Does AltruAI offer a free plan or free trial?

    AltruAI does not offer a permanent free plan, but it does provide a free trial with no credit card required. You can build and preview a report during the trial, but publishing requires a paid subscription starting at $45/month for the Pro plan.

    Does AltruAI offer nonprofit discounts?

    As of early 2026, AltruAI does not publicly advertise a nonprofit-specific discount despite being purpose-built for nonprofits. All organizations pay the same $45/month (Pro) or $99/month (Premium) rates. Contact AltruAI directly to ask about any available nonprofit pricing.

    Can multiple team members work on a report in AltruAI?

    AltruAI supports multiple team member accounts, but only one person can edit a report at a time. Real-time simultaneous collaboration is planned for a future release. For most nonprofit teams this works fine, since annual report creation is typically a sequential process.

    Can AltruAI pull data directly from our CRM or accounting software?

    No. AltruAI does not currently integrate with CRM systems, donor management platforms, or accounting software like QuickBooks. Financial and program data must be entered manually or uploaded via documents. The AI can analyze uploaded documents and your website to generate a draft, but live data connections are not available.

    What output formats does AltruAI support?

    AltruAI supports two output formats: an interactive web report that can be embedded on your organization's website or shared via a link, and a PDF export for printing or email attachments. Both formats are generated from the same report, so you build once and get both.

    How does AltruAI's AI actually work?

    AltruAI's AI analyzes your organization's website URL and any documents you upload to generate a first draft of your annual report following nonprofit best practices. You then edit the draft using a drag-and-drop editor. The AI helps with initial content generation, but your team reviews and refines everything before publishing.

    How does AltruAI compare to Canva for annual reports?

    AltruAI is purpose-built for nonprofit annual reports and includes sector-specific modules (donor lists, financials, board members, geographic impact maps) that Canva lacks. AltruAI also generates an interactive web version alongside the PDF. Canva has a much larger template library and is free for nonprofits through TechSoup. Choose AltruAI if you want nonprofit-specific structure and web publishing; choose Canva if budget is the primary constraint.
