Ways To Use A Digital Donor Wall

By Joshua Kelly


Nonprofit organizations have a lot of work to do in order to serve the community. Part of that work is raising money through various projects, sales, and donations in order to have the financing to hire staff and provide the programs that help the people they serve. In order to foster goodwill, they usually have a way to recognize those that donate by putting up plaques or using a digital donor wall for this purpose. There are several ways to provide this recognition, but the electronic wall allows them to enhance the experience.

The display that is used lets the organization update fundraising efforts and goals. When the donations are received a staff member can easily log into the system and update it to reflect this information. Providing these ongoing updates will help keep the project in peoples minds and answer questions on how well the work is going.

Interactive uses help to provide additional information. Not only are the goals displayed, but people can touch the screen to get more information on who is helping and what the money will be used for. A story can be created to show the people that will be helped as an additional motivating factor to get more money. Pamphlets will be able to provide some information but are not easily updated.

Scrolling lists help add names without extra expense. It costs a lot of money to add names to static plaques. The digital version lets you add names and highlight those that are top donors. Viewers can also click the names to learn more about the person and what they are doing in the community.

Presentations help raise money. By having the updated information readily available, people can move through the screens to see the stories of those being helped. The display can be updated quickly and easily with more information throughout the project. If there are events that are planned for the organization, they can also be added to the screen.

Future events and fund raising can be added. Though more than one fundraiser can be difficult to handle in normal circumstances, having an electronic display allows you to list each one and have the ability to click through to each one for updates and information. This type of display is an excellent source for being able to get the word out and allow viewers and potential donors to choose which fund they want to support.

Achievements can be highlighted. Once an event ends, all that participated can be recognized with nice pages of recognition. If there are other events, such as contests, or service awards they can also be displayed. Being able to create these updates really makes this type of system the best for active organizations.

Getting information out on your efforts and fundraisers is important for the survival of the group. The information you put out needs to be up to date and timely for active organizations. There are a lot of costs to getting the word out of what is going on, so having something that is easily updated will save time, money, and work.
