PowerPoint presentations effectively communicate organizational needs to donors while seeking funds or submitting proposals. An opportunity given to make a presentation to the donor should be utilized most effectively for making the donor understand the challenges and the needs of the organization. This involves designing a successful presentation on the PowerPoint. Below are some PowerPoint tips NGOs can use for developing effective presentations:
– We have to focus less on text and more on graphics while developing a Presentation. Sometimes, we use only text, almost stuffing entire slide with words. This can fail to serve the purpose. So, the less text we use, the better look we can present
– As a general rule we should use not more than 5 points on a slide. Adding another slide if we have more information can be more effective.
– Choosing a text layout is important as it will help us not only design the slide, but also adding graphics in the slide.
– Choose a background which is simple. Bright colors in the background can distract the attention of the audience from the content.
– Animation brings delight to the slide. But we should use it at appropriate places.
