What is a Donor Wall?

The President of W & E Baum, Richard Baum, was quoted in the article "The art and science of donor walls" written by Bill J. Harrision in the February 1999 publication of Fund Raising Management.

"A donor wall is a medium that allows an organization to recognize those people who have made contributions for a particular purpose," explained Richard Baum, President of W & E Baum, a full-service recognition company in Brooklyn, NY. "In some cases it's a capital campaign where they are recognizing people who gave money to help build or expand a facility. Another type of wall is for annual recognition. A donor makes a thousand dollar contribution a year to be part of an annual recognition club. Every time you make a contribution or renew it, your name stays on this wall. It's an ongoing way of bringing in funds to an organization. There are other walls, Trees of Life, for example, that are used to recognize small donations, memorials or happy occasions."
