Preface is owned and operated by Joel Eaton. At Preface we believe in the power of story. Every piece of communication you have is telling a story to your donors, volunteers, and community.
We create annual reports, branding packages, brochures, direct mail, campaign proposals, and more. More than anything, we create vehicles for effective storytelling.
By focusing on how we’re effectively telling your organizations story, we will help your donors connect with your mission, which in the end will help drive donations and response to your direct mail, emails, or newsletters.
Very few design firms specialize in working with non profit organizations. When working with us, you will get years of experience and testing in nonprofit communications.
We are Preface, where your story begins.
