Recognize Your Community of Donors With Donor Recognition Signage

Donor Recognition

According to LIFT PHILANTHROPY PARTNERS there are 3 strategies for proper donor recognition.

• Thank them
• Recognize them
• Tell the story

Each of these areas can be covered by choosing unique signage for donor recognition. Recently we had the opportunity to fabricate a donor recognition sign structure for St. Paul’s University College, which is on the University of Waterloo Campus in Waterloo Ontario. This unique design was developed here at The Sign Depot with the assistance of ABA Architects, also located in the Region of Waterloo.  This sign structure has become a focal point in the building and incorporates the 3 strategies listed above.  First it thanks the donors for their community involvement.  Second it recognizes each donor and their contribution to St. Paul’s and third the arch structure conveys the message of the donors lifting up St. Paul’s and incorporating their spirit into the building.

Below you can see the beginning stages of the sign on the layout drawings and the final installation.

As the donor recognition sign came together it was decided that the sign should light up as the students, professors and staff of St. Paul’s walk through the arch-way.  This signals how important their donors are to them by making them take notice of all those who chose to donate to St. Paul’s.
