Reasons For A Donor Recognition Wall

By Robert Miller


Running a charity program is not easy. You cannot meet all the objectives on your own, and you do not have a guaranteed source of the resources needed. The money contributed by members of the public hence plays an important role, and it is good to create a donor recognition wall. The following are some of the reasons for this item.

This is an excellent way to show gratitude to people that helped you and the organization to make an achievement. In as far as you can use other methods like buying gifts and sending appreciative notes and messages, creating a portrait with their names and contribution details has a more profound impression. It means you want to involve even the members of the public that read the notice board in appreciating the donations made.

Naming the most active participants and thanking them for their contribution also acts as a way of convincing them to contribute more. The portrait somehow makes them feel that they are part of an institution. In case of future projects, these will be the first people to show concern, and they may want to donate more to remain on the list.

This is also a good way of motivating others that have never made a contribution to the organization. A visitor that wants to make inquiries about the organization may be interested in your activities, and upon seeing how active the donors are, they may want to be part of a project as well. This increases the development funds for the organization.

This is a good way of decorating your premises. This is because various designs can be used to make the item. If you find an expert that allows customization, then it means that you can give him your specifications. This includes style, theme, and color. The outcome will be something beautiful that boosts the appearance of a place. Your choice should be in line with the existing style.

This system is regularly updated, and it is hence easy to estimate the amount of money that has been donated for an entire project. People will question the accountability of the people in charge of this money if they feel that work is not commencing as per the resources available. This is hence, a way of promoting accountability in charity organizations.

When one of the participants faces a problem, it is reflected in the portrait as his contributions will reduce. As a concerned party, it is good to follow up on such an issue and come up with a way of helping. The individual will appreciate your efforts even if you will not fully solve his issues. Such an act makes him loyal as he knows you are concerned about him.

The people that play a part in your projects get to know each other through this method by reading their names on the board. Since they have similar interests, they may decide to meet in person and form a strong development group that will benefit the organization in a big way. The bigger the number of contributors, the larger the group created.
