So I whipped this up... It's a largeish PDF, sorry for any inconvenience.
It would take me probably another 2-3 hours to prep it for consistency and proper printing. It's just a template. This is a wordy example. For an actual brochure I would be looking to cut the word count and/or reduce font-size if I absolutely needed all that verbiage.
I'm not sure how attachments work in this here list, but if you're having trouble shoot me a direct email and I'll send you the template in whatever form I can (PDF, .indd, whatever). Y'all are free to use it, though I'd have an actual graphic designer give it some polish/panache as well as an edit/revision by a copywriter before it went public, if you have either of those in the ranks of your organization, or can afford external services.
I appreciate feedback of all kinds, so let me know what you think about it!
Keep up the good work everybody!

Thanks for putting this together. This is great Jude!
My only suggestion is to add some bullet points on your accomplishments, goals met, number of constituents served, etc. AND it needs to be prominent: center of piece, larger font, different color, etc.
"Measurable outcomes" have been the trend of the last 20 years in resource development and with the new corporation-dominated/focused administration coming into power, it's only going to get more so.
