Donor recognition that honors the gift.
Capital campaigns, named gifts, memorial dedications, board appreciation — pieces that commemorate generosity with the weight it deserves.
Donor recognition is one of the most discerning categories we work in: the recipients are often institutional board members, capital-campaign leadership, or memorial dedicatees whose names will live on the piece for decades. The wording matters as much as the material — favor enduring framing ("in honor of", "dedicated to the memory of") over transactional language ("thank you for your gift of $X"). Browse the grid for silhouettes with the right gravity, then engrave with the donor's name, the campaign or cause, and the year. Our wording generator at /us/award-wording/donor-recognition can draft five inscription options if you'd like a starting point.

About this category.
Can you produce a donor wall or matched set?
Yes — recurring donor-recognition projects often need matched pieces at multiple giving tiers (Founder, Patron, Sponsor, etc.). We deliver coordinated sets in the same silhouette with size or material variations per tier.
Can you etch a longer dedication inscription?
Yes — donor pieces commonly carry 40–100 word inscriptions naming the gift, purpose, and dedicatee. Larger pieces accommodate longer text without crowding. We'll show you the layout in the proof.
What inscription style works for memorial dedications?
We recommend a restrained, formal voice — "In honor of...", "Dedicated to the memory of..." — naming the recipient and the gift's purpose. Our generator at /us/award-wording/donor-recognition drafts five inscription options tuned for memorial framing.
Can the institution's seal or crest be etched?
Yes — university crests, foundation seals, and institutional marks all reproduce well via laser etching. Vector files reproduce most cleanly; high-res raster also works.
Other ways to start.
