When 'Thank You' Isn't Enough

Each year Americans give billions of dollars in donations to support universities, schools, hospitals, religious groups, companies and non-profit organizations. These donations are vital to making countless programs and services available. They fund all kinds of projects—from new buildings and equipment to research, education and health services. Finding a way to properly thank these generous donors can be a difficult task.

Donor Recognition Display

Recognizing donors is important for expressing gratitude and showing supporters how their contributions make a positive impact. Choosing to create a display for donor recognition is a substantial and meaningful way to show your appreciation.

Another interesting feature of donor recognition displays is the prospect of using them as a tool to encourage future giving. Many organizations start with a fundraising idea and a display with open spaces to provide potential donors the opportunity to get involved in a specific project. These donor recognition displays can also tell stories of a specific project or cause, using touchscreens, videos and other interactive features.

Features of donor recognition displays:
  • A variety of shapes and styles to match an organization's brand, including logos and colors
  • Changeable elements to update information
  • Incorporation of organization's missions and values
  • Interactive elements such as videos of donors explaining why they gave
