Wow, this is incredibly helpful and inspiring! May I ask – if someone gives a gift of $50,000, is their name on the wall forever, or only a certain amount of time? Also, can the $50,000 be a multi-year pledge?
We love our local Subaru dealers and partner with them as well, but it is approxiamtely $10k or less per year. If you don't mind sharing more about your partnsership with WHS, I'd love to hear more about that as well,
Thank you so much for your reply.

We have many ways of recognizing big donors. We have a display wall behind the reception desk with "name tag" shaped plaques that bear the names of individuals, corporations, and foundations who contributed to our capital campaign with a gift of over a certain level (I believe it is $50,000). We also have naming opportunities - from naming a whole section of the shelter or just a specific room. Lastly, our biggest partner, West Houston Subaru, has a wall display dedicated to their support. It has numbers (license plate) to represent the number of adoptions they have sponsored, which is updated weekly. I'm attaching pictures. Let me know if anything else would be helpful.

For those of you who have donor recognition walls/display, what are the guidelines and thresholds? We would love some insiprational photos as we prepare to launch an annual gift recognition program via display at our shelter. Do you include trusts/foundations and corporate gifts? Any other advice you have for the planning process is also welcome!
