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.

Appreciating people that make contributions is the least you can do to them. These are people that are not responsible for making the project a success, but they make an effort to see that you do not struggle financially. Including their names in the notice board makes them feel appreciated as it means that their efforts were not taken for granted. It is hence a simple method of thanking them.

The people who made a contribution will not just feel appreciated after seeing his name on the portrait. They will also feel motivated to give more as they know their work played a part in the development project. If you have a future project, they will gladly want to be involved, and this means that you will not struggle so much in terms of finances. Someone whose effort is not noticed may feel irrelevant.

It is also an excellent way to challenge those that have never made any contribution to the project. When what others are doing to improve the welfare of the people around them, they will feel challenged to do something as well. They will start making pledges and goals that will see them making it into the recognition portrait.

The portraits will also serve the purpose of decorating the place. When ordering for them, you can have them being made in a manner that matches with the rest of decorative items in the surrounding area. Nice results will be achieved when you hire someone who can customize it for you. He will include all the specifications you want, and this leaves you with an admirable portrait.

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 portrait helps the key participants in a project to know one another. While looking at the portrait containing their contribution details, they will be interested in finding out about other participants. If such a group decides to hold development meetings, they can do great things as they seem to have similar interests that will bind them together.
