Client Overview

The Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC) is a transformative organization dedicated to dismantling mass incarceration in California. ARC empowers formerly incarcerated individuals through a robust network of support, reentry services, and policy advocacy, all grounded in the belief that everyone deserves a second chance.

Challenges

ARC needed a compelling and professionally produced annual impact report that would communicate the real-world impact of their work and strengthen relationships with stakeholders, donors, and partners.

Solutions

Square Lightning managed the full scope of the 2023 impact report production—assembling key stories and data, editing for clarity and cohesion, and designing a polished, visually compelling final document. The report used storytelling, data visualization, and thoughtful design to reflect the heart of ARC’s mission.

Outcomes

The final report served as a strategic tool for engagement and fundraising, helping ARC celebrate milestones, attract new partners, and galvanize support for its advocacy efforts. It positioned ARC’s impact in a powerful, accessible format for diverse audiences, from policymakers to community members
