Donor recognition · Free

Donor recognition wording — named gifts, in memoriam.

Donor recognition pieces appear in lobbies, on walls, in named rooms, and on dedication trees — the wording stays in place for decades. Give us the donor name (or "in memory of" / "in honor of" preface), the recipient cause, and the dedication occasion. Five formal-leaning inscription options come back, each suited to engraving on a wall plaque or display piece.

Reason for recognition

5 generations per hour per visitor. Each option is a starting point — the atelier finalizes wording before production.
