This is actually a really good question. I think a lot of people assume that the only time you would buy a donor wall is if you were placing someone’s name on the wall, you know… in memory of. But this isn't necessarily the case. You can also purchase donor walls and donor plaques to show appreciation towards donors, commemorate someone for doing something heroic, or even to mention who planned your building.

And there are moving stories when it comes to donor walls. One of the stories I have seen lately was for a gentleman that had suddenly died of cardiac arrest. His wife wanted to set up a memorial for him and needed help with the contributions. She ended up building the memorial for her husband and with it she also added a donor wall, to thank all the people that contributed money to the memorial.

The wall included the contributors name, how much they contributed and in what way they knew this man. Not only does it pay tribute to the person that had passed away, but it also pays tribute to the contributors as well. It's just a really nice way to not only say goodbye, but to also say thank you as well.

You can be an individual business, company, or as we can see above, even an individual person that simply wants to celebrate a person's life. The donor plaques are also a really nice option if you want to pay tribute to a handful of donors - one of my all-time favorite plates is the Tree Of Life. This is a standing plaque with bronze tree trunk and gold plated (or silver) leaves which the names of the donors are etched on. Very inspiring, very beautiful and very well-made.

For the most parts, charities are going to depend on people in order to survive. You have the Lupus Fund for example, that uses donations from members and from people that want to donate money to the fund in order to allow them to contribute fund for critical research to acquire the causes and curse for lupus. These funds also help support victims that have fallen ill to Lupus as well. These funds and charities don't make money any other way so they absolutely need people TO contribute and TO donate.

For funds such as this one, a Tree Of Life donor plaque would be a terrific idea in order to honor those people that have contributed money towards the fund. Of course people can also be anonymous as well, but a lot of these donor walls and donor plaques are going to be in memoriam of the names of these people that contribute, maybe a name of their company or business (almost like that of a sponsor) and if need be how much they donated.

This is more or less a "thank you" gift to show your supporters how much you appreciate them. You can also purchase individual donor plaques as well - this is nice if you have just a handful of people every year or every month that donate. However, the donor walls are great for charities or funds where you have dozens if not hundreds of people donating.

When people think of donors they automatically think of a person or business that has given away money to another person or business. However, this can also be in appreciation for something someone has done, it can be in memory of someone or can just be a list of people that have somehow made your life or your business more successful. When it comes to these donor recognition options you have all kinds of carrying options available to you - which is perfect since everyone seems to have their own styles!

Many buildings across the United States have these types of donor recognition plaques including war memorials, buildings that have been constructed in memoriam of, and hospitals that are nonprofit organization. The two major options are donor walls and donor plaques. The Tree Of Life plaques were one of my favorites just because of the symbology behind the tree and that actual structural design of the Tree of Life.

All of our donor recognition plaques have the same function - which is to line up your donors with names, titles, their business and even how much donated to the charity or organization. This is fantastic way to show your gratitude and appreciation for people that donate to companies!

If you are a business that has had donors in the past, it's really important that you show gratitude to the person and or company that donated. This can actually be done a few different ways, but one of the most professional and sincere is to get donor plaques or donor walls.

Frankly even when it comes to donating I always like doing it anonymously, but if someone spends a lot of money, this is a really nice way to show your appreciation. There are other kinds of donor gratitude options as well, different shapes of the plaques, different designs, options, etc. An elegant option is choosing the Tree of Life.

Usually this specific "tree" will be bronzed along with room on the actual leaves where you can add the names of the donors. This one might be particularly useful if you have a lot of donors. The styling is really going to depend on you, but in case you were curious of what is available and what is not it really does to reach a point of limitations!

The origin of stained glass dates back to ancient times, to the Romans and the Egyptians, but throughout the last thousand years, stained glass is known to decorate the windows of significant buildings.

Stained glass is made by adding metallic salts during the manufacture of the glass, which creates unique colors. The pieces of colored glass are then crafted into windows, sculptures and structures, while usually arranged to depict patterns, portraits and pictures.

The makers of the glass often paint extra details on the glass in order to enhance the overall design of the work. It’s not easy to create a piece of stained glass and many consider the processes to be highly artistic. Engineering skills are also required in order to achieve perfect assembly, so the window will fit into the building space, resist rain and wind and support its own weight.
