Ways To Use A Digital Donor Wall

By Joshua Kelly


When you work for a nonprofit, you understand the huge amount of work to keep the organization going financially. Serving the community can be expensive and requires a lot of effort in creating the programs to serve and raising money to keep things going. Part of the funds come from donations provided through various fundraising events. To recognize those that have helped and provide information on the events, using a digital donor wall is a great method. This gives you the ability to provide live updates and put the information out directly.

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.

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 provide important information. Pamphlets are great ways to get out information. But if something changes or there isn't enough space, the electronic display allows these updates to be made quickly. New information can be added and other things updated throughout the effort. They can also present information on special events that are coming up.

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.

Awards and achievements can be put on display. Service goals, contests, and other events often end with awards and certifications. Adding the photos of the event and handing out the awards can highlight the ongoing events at the group. This encourages people to participate by showing what is going on and how people are rewarded for participating.

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.
