Updateable Donor Walls for Non-Profit using Rail Wall

A celebration of the many different donors and giving campaigns is reflected in the many different donor displays custom designed and fabricated by Presentations using their exclusive Rail Wall and Arreya Digital Signage products.

The capital campaign donor wall was constructed by rolling aluminum to emulate cans of food, into an abstract mosaic that graces the large, 2-story lobby. Translucent photos were printed on concave pieces of aluminum and corporate donor logos were added to some of the larger pieces of rolled aluminum.

The 2 of the 3 other donor walls needed to be easily updated and Presentations, exclusive Rail Wall was the perfect choice. The Rail Wall donor walls are great for creating an updateable donor wall. New donor list panels are reprinted and slide in and out and the structure coordinates with the modern, industrial architecture of the space. The designs were developed and fabricated by Presentations to coordinate with the campaigns and differentiate between the annual giving campaigns and the capital campaign donor wall.

The Wall of Hope donor wall is inspiring with custom artwork. Using a local artists renderings and donor signatures to catch the attention of the many visitors, volunteers and corporate donors that help in the busy packing area of the facility.

With the continued success of the facility, another Rail Wall was added to accommodate the many different types of donors. The design reflects the 2 other annual donor walls. The headers panels denote the different giving levels, while the panels are lists of the donors and corporate logos. Each year new panels are created to replace the old panels. Within minutes of installation donors were snapping photos of the new donor recognition display.

As an added bonus, an interactive kiosk greets visitors at the entrance to the facility. It gives information about the outreach programs and meets LEED requirements.

Donor Wall greets visitors at Food Bank’s new facility

In order to better position the Food Bank to meet the increasing need for years to come, NIFB launched a Capital Campaign “We are running out of space, but not out of hungry people” to build a new Food Distribution and Community Nutrition Center. The campaign was a success and The Food Bank opened the doors of their new facility.

To recognize and thank the donors for their support, the Food Bank wanted a unique donor wall that fit the new open space of the lobby. The challenge was designing something that spoke to the food bank and their campaign, but fit the space. The creative process went from a logo wall using actual food cans to, a display of food cans, but the final design was geometric formation of cylinders to represent cans.

To also add a sense of impact, images and quotes were incorporated into the layout. The final design identifies four levels of giving, relates to the food bank, adds shape, color and reflection to the space.

The curved tin was also designed into the facilities wayfinding and room naming opportunities for donors to be recognized on.

A touch screen kiosk was developed for the lobby which displays informational content about the food bank and is also an educational component about features of the building.

The result was a one-of-a-kind look and design the Food Bank was proud to showcase and share with the community it serves.
