[ ] Using a timer, take 5 minutes to write down as many rough ideas on sticky notes as you can.
[ ] Go around as a team and put your sticky notes on a wall as you say what you wrote.
[ ] Group similar ideas together.

When you're finished, you're ready to move on to creating paper prototypes!

It seems that all non-profits are required to file financials with the Colorado Secretary of State each year. Here is a sample report for Gamelan Tunas Mekar: https://www.sos.state.co.us/ccsa/ViewCoRpt.do?ceId=190694

The financial breakout uses similar categories to PeaceJam's annual report: http://peacejam.org/media/1481/pj_annual-report-2016-sept-final.pdf

So, we could probably have each of the financial values as fields that display on the report since it seems they are common across non-profits.

Idea: what if this is just an API that takes in structured data (financials, mission, etc.) and spits back an HTML5 file? That way, we can build other things on top of it (web app, WordPress plugin, etc.)
