Advancing Donor Engagement and Mission Impact

When Old Salem Museums & Gardens launched a bold plan to close a persistent funding gap, reenergize donor relationships, and expand community engagement, Creative Force was brought in to help bring the vision to life. Through compelling graphic design and print production, we transformed their strategy into tangible materials that inspired giving, deepened connections, and strengthened brand consistency across every touchpoint.

Our team designed and produced the organization’s first printed annual report in more than a decade — a visually engaging publication that celebrated achievements, strengthened community connections, and inspired renewed support. Mailing the report to current and past donors resulted in a 35% year-over-year increase in annual giving, with the number of individual donors rising from 188 to 518.

We also provided graphic design and print management for a mailed annual appeal and a series of invitations promoting Old Salem’s special interest events — each campaign generating standing-room-only attendance and reinforcing donor enthusiasm for the mission.
