Your Roadmap

MAR 2026 - NOV 2026

Your Roadmap is an agreed-on schedule detailing the products we'll collaborate on together and the services we'll provide during this year of partnership. We've created your Roadmap based on your current needs and our team's resources. All projects listed have a reserved space on our calendar and have received budget approval.

We typically launch each project one at a time. Your project manager will reach out to gather more information, provide a detailed timeline, and confirm your availability. Please note: All timelines are estimated and do not include applicable printing and shipping times (~2 weeks) or blackout dates for your team or ours.

Story Card

Changing Timelines: If you're unable to meet deadlines, it may affect when you receive the finished product. If you know a delay is coming and you let us know as quickly as possible, we are more likely to be able to adjust timelines and still meet deadlines.

Adding Projects: Because we aim to complete projects for as many partners as possible, we often do not have space for additional requested projects. However, if you discover an additional need, feel free to let us know! We’ll see if we can make space, depending on capacity.

Cancelling Projects: If any significant changes to your staff or annual calendar come up that are going to delay or cancel upcoming projects, please let us know as early as possible so that we can allocate resources to other partners who are waiting. Thank you!

about partnership

Our ability to commit to projects is contingent upon a continued healthy partnership as detailed in the Unseen Partnership Agreement.

Thank you in advance for:

  • Completing the Annual Partnership Report and post-project surveys so we can report to our donors and encourage their continued investment.
  • Maintaining frequent and reliable communication as we collaborate on projects together and learn more about your organization.
  • Using products effectively to ensure Unseen's resources are being put to good use.

Additionally, we ask that you notify us of any severe financial fraud or human safety violations. When you begin partnership with Unseen, we'll discuss your policies on financial accountability and child safety (Code of Conduct). We hope it never happens, but since we’re partners, if situations of fraud or a breach of safety occur within your organization, we’d appreciate hearing about it from you first.

We find that clear points of contact and defined roles create a smooth process for keeping projects moving—saving all of us valuable time and r creating a sustainable, productive partnership!‍

Wrap-Up

At the start of each project, your Project Manager will send you two forms to complete. Review the detailed production timeline carefully and let us know right away if you need to make any adjustments. This is very important for our team as we work hard to keep projects in scope for our hired freelancers, as well as manage other partner projects that we’ve committed to. We’ll also confirm key details, approve potential images, and gather your design preferences.

This is where our team spends the most time, ensuring what’s being communicated through the product is clear and effective for a donor audience. We often utilize mock-ups to help visualize where the content will be placed on the design piece and choose photos that match the verbiage. If any other members of your organization need to give input on the written content, you'll want to get their approval during this stage.

We'll work with a contracted designer, relaying creative input from your team and ours and communicating deadlines. We appreciate your timely feedback as you provide up to three rounds of edits. Round 1 is the opportunity to make the most changes. Please remember to gather input from all necessary team members. In Round 2 we'll ask for minor design edits and very minor verbiage tweaks as needed. Round 3 is the time to catch any typos or other errors or approve the product for final steps. We'll offer our suggested edits for each draft, though we always want your honest feedback!

We’ll send you the final project files, shipping information (if needed), and instructions for using the product. You may receive a survey asking about the project process. After you've had a chance to use the product for a few months, you'll be asked to complete a survey about the product's impact on your growth. Your honest feedback helps us improve and allows us to share your success with donors who will continue to fund future projects.
