Twice a year, Oakland Public Education Fund receives grant reports from its A to Z Fund grantees.

Those reports already include what happened, who benefited, key results, quotes, and photos from the projects.

Instead of letting that content sit in a folder, Oakland Ed Fund sends the reports to PosterChild.

From there, PosterChild turns the reports into:

• LinkedIn stories highlighting grantees and their work
• Donor emails that bring those stories directly to supporters

For Oakland Ed Fund, this means one reporting process can fuel months of communication without staff having to constantly create new content from scratch.

Their team has seen the value directly:

“It’s been so successful that we realized … why don’t we feed it other things?” - Ali Medina, CEO

And one team member noticed the difference before she even knew PosterChild was behind it:

“Wait, our content is improving.”

The takeaway is simple:

Your grant reports may already contain your next several LinkedIn posts and donor emails.
