Donor walls · Hospitals, schools & charities

Donor walls and recognition displays

Permanent ways to thank the people who made a building or a campaign possible. Designed for hospitals, schools, places of worship, community centres and charities, and built so new names can be added for years.

Designed for the room and the campaign

A donor wall has two jobs: it has to look right in the space, and it has to work for your campaign. We plan the giving tiers, how names will be added and where the wall will be lit and seen before we design the look.

Easy to keep up to date

Most campaigns keep going after the wall is installed. We keep your layout and files on record, so new name plates match the originals and can be added on site in a single visit.

How it works

From photo to installed, with one team.

  1. Photo and brief

    Send a photo and what you need. We measure and check the by-law and landlord rules.

  2. Drawing and price

    A scaled drawing on a photo of your building, with a fixed price and schedule.

  3. Permit and build

    We file the permit and fabricate in our Scarborough shop.

  4. Install

    Our own crew installs, connects and tests it.

Pricing

What affects the price

Every sign is made to measure, so we quote each one. These are the things that move the number most.

  • Size of the wall and number of names
  • Materials (wood, glass, metal) and lighting
  • How many giving tiers and how the design expands
  • Ongoing name additions

Questions

Donor & recognition walls: common questions

What is a donor wall?
A permanent display that thanks the people and organizations who supported an institution. It shows everyone who walks past who made the place possible.
Can names be added to a donor wall later?
Yes, when the wall is designed for it. Modular and expandable designs let new names, tiers or plaques be added over time without remaking the whole display. That matters for campaigns that run for years.
What materials are used for recognition walls?
Wood, brass, bronze, glass, stainless steel and engraved acrylic, chosen to suit the room. Engraving and etching carry the names, logos and messages.
Do you handle the name list and proofing?
Yes. We set every name from your list and send proofs for approval, so spelling and order are checked before anything is engraved.
