Advantages Of 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.

Using the electronic display allows the organization to update fund raising efforts and goals. As donations come in, the goals can be updated to reflect this and show how close they are to receiving enough for a special project. The ability to provide these updates is a great way to keep the efforts front and center and make it so people don't need to ask how it 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.

A scrolling list can be included. High-level donors can be highlighted on the screen. For more information on each one, viewers can click the names. They can also scroll through as more names are added to the list. This has a benefit over static plaques and other displays because the new names are easily added.

Creating a presentation can up the game. Paper presentations are static and not easy to update and get in the hands of the people that need new information. Having a moving presentation lets people see updates and new information about the efforts and stages of the projects. If there are special events coming up, they can easily be added to the board.

Upcoming events can be advertised. New fundraising efforts, community events, and other projects can be added to a calendar page or one that shows the events of the organization. This will help keep people informed without the added expense of creating a lot of pamphlets to show what is going on. Getting the word out will help attendance and other work.

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.

It is important to get information out to people who are supporting your organization. This information needs to be updated constantly and can be very expensive to do when it involves a lot of mailers and creating pamphlets. However, with the electronic display, you can provide these updates, correct information, and show achievements with ease.
