The Annual Event Report aggregates data from every event in a given year into one summary: total events, total attendance, breakdown by type and location, year-over-year trends. It’s what you present to your board, include in grant applications, or use to plan next year’s calendar.

​
When to use this

​
Prerequisites

Enable in Settings → Events → Module Settings: Annual reports aggregate data from individual Event Reports. The more complete your event reports are, the richer the annual data.

2

Configure options

The system compiles data from all events in the selected year.
4

Review and export

Review the data, then export as PDF or CSV.

​
What’s in the report

​
Event statistics

  • Events per month — see seasonal patterns
  • Attendance over time — is engagement growing?
  • Year-over-year comparison — how do you compare to previous years?
  • Most popular event types — where should you invest more?

​
Breakdowns

​
National vs. Local reports

​
National Annual Report

The big picture — all events across the entire organization:
  • Aggregated statistics
  • Year-over-year trends
  • Impact metrics for external reporting

​
Local Annual Report

Per-Local-Center breakdown:
  • Events organized by each center
  • Local attendance figures
  • Center-to-center comparison
  • Identify your most active (and least active) branches
Local Annual Reports are only available if the Local Centers module is enabled.

​
SDG impact tracking

If your events are tagged with UN Sustainable Development Goals:
  • See how many events aligned to each SDG
  • Track impact alignment trends over years
  • Export SDG data for grant reporting and UN compliance
This is particularly valuable for NGOs, civil society organizations, and development agencies that report on impact.

​
Volunteer hours

If event hosts track volunteer hours in their event reports:
  • Total volunteer hours for the year
  • Breakdown by event type
  • Hours per member
  • Year-over-year growth in volunteer engagement

​
Exporting

​
PDF export

Professional layout with charts, graphs, and your organization’s branding. Ready for board presentations, grant applications, or printing.

​
CSV/data export

Raw data for custom analysis — import into Excel, Google Sheets, or your own reporting tools.

​
Common scenarios

Annual reports aggregate from individual event reports. If event hosts didn’t create reports or didn’t record attendance, the data is incomplete. Enable attendance reminders in module settings to nudge hosts, and emphasize the importance of event reporting.
Generate a Local Annual Report. It includes center-to-center comparison for events held, total attendance, and engagement rates. Use this to identify branches that need more support or recognize high-performing centers.
Yes. Select the current year — the report generates with data available so far. You can regenerate at year-end for the complete picture.
Three things: (1) use Event Types consistently so the breakdown is meaningful, (2) record attendance at every event even if it’s just an approximate headcount, (3) fill in event reports promptly after each event.
