Importance Of Using Donor Recognition Walls

By Iva Cannon


In the recent past, there has been an increase in the number of projects taking place aimed at helping the societies we live in. Most of these projects are non-profit generating and they include schools, hospitals, community halls, libraries among many others. As a way of showing appreciation to the people who played a great role in contributing the funds required putting up the public facilities, their names are written on the buildings that are set up. This makes the use of donor recognition walls very important today.

Various designs can be used to display the relevant information relating to the organizations that played a role in the establishment of projects. The difference in the information written varies depending on the organizations. However some information is usually common in nearly all the display walls. This information includes the names of the founders, the year of opening up of the structure and the person who opened it.

In the old architecture, the blocks were made from large stones and a written piece of brass metal was mounted on the stone to indicate the relevant data. In the current world, the use of stones has been replaced by use of LCD screens and projectors on which the data is being put up for display. They are fitted on strategic points within the building that enhance viewing by many people.

Every organization has a different mission and therefore the information printed for different organizations varies. Some organizations use only words to describe their mission and objectives where as others use relevant pictures to accompany their messages. This ensures that the information is able to reach a large audience and it is well understood.

The amount of information concerning the group that needs to be painted determines size of space needed. Various groups have different information that they want to be posted in places it will be easily seen. Where the information is very detailed, large blocks may be selected for these purposes and a small block space can be selected for less detailed data.

It has been established that the cost of designing these materials is quite cheap and therefore affordable by many groups of people. The more complex and large structures are however quite expensive as compared to simple and less complicated ones. There maintenance costs are also very minimal making them very suitable.

The display units should be set up at points that are easily seen by the people visiting the building that was build using donors support. They can be put at the entrance points to the building or at the reception offices where many people pass through. In some special cases they can be cemented at a strategic point near the house to ensure visibility by people visiting the place at any time. This ensures that the information regarding the intentions of the group can reach a wide population as possible.

The use of these platforms has increased the awareness of such organizations to a majority of people thus promoting their reputation. They also have an aesthetic beauty impact on the buildings on which they are used. It is therefore recommendable to increase the use of these donor walls.
