IKON's goal is to create recognition systems that stands as a testimony of an institution's commitment to its donors, as well as a marketing tool to foster continued involvement. A key element of good donor stewardship is showing supporters their contributions are appreciated. An easy way to celebrate donors is to post their names in a public place where everyone can see them!
A donor recognition wall will be around for a long time, usually as long as the building is still standing. This long-term show of appreciation speaks to donors, especially those leaving planned gifts to an organization. And, it’s not just past donors who see walls — prospective donors see them, too. Seeing the public commendation a donation receives will encourage others to give!
