If you are the leader of a small business, arts organization, or non-profit group working for an important cause, then you probably appreciate the significance of receiving support from your community. This support can come in a variety of forms, from a senior citizen donating an afternoon to manning the phones, to a benefactor donating enough money to significantly expand your operations. But no matter the scope of the generosity, it is important to recognize the individuals and groups that help your business thrive. For large donations, there's no better way to honor your benefactors than donor walls and plaques.
Why is recognizing your donors so important? Installing donor plaques or other commemorative materials will benefit your business twofold, first by encouraging past donors to continue supporting you efforts by showing them how much your appreciate their contributions. Second, donor plaques will help entice potential new donors to begin supporting your business as well. Your donor wall will also bring your business closer to your community, giving you a reputation as a group that appreciates its supporters.
Of course, this is not to say the donor walls and plaques are the only ways your business can recognize its benefactors. Many companies have a tradition of throwing receptions or parties in honor of their most significant donors, for example, and these events are the perfect venues to debut an additional lasting celebration such as a wall of cast bronze plaques.
You could even hand out certificates to the people being recognized, or take photographs of the event to be displayed alongside you plaques. You might even throw in a slide show with images and figures of your organization's mission, accomplishments, and goals. But matter what you do, a donor wall will inform your donors—and the world—that their contributions will be not be forgotten and will continue to service your business for years to come.
If your business is considering installing a donor wall, you should think about upgrading your plaque arrangement from functional to eye-catching by investing in a tree of life design. These are beautiful wall arrangements usually featuring ornamental trees with "leaves" that are actually plaques recognizing your donors. A tree of life is often the most memorable part of an office lobby, encouraging generous members of community to help it "grow" with even more contributions. Your business can customize a tree of life display to fit the distinct personality, budget, and spacial constraints you have to work with.
Despite the name, tree of life displays do not even have to be shaped like trees. If you run a business or charity supporting animals, for example, you could arrange your donor and memorial plaques in the shape of a dog, cat, horse, or any other creature. Additionally, many religious organizations prefer to order their tree of life memorial walls in the shape of a religious symbol, such as the Star of David.
