Childrens Hospital Digital Donor Recognition Wall

A digital donor recognition wall at University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital provides a refined, contemporary way to honor generosity within a pediatric healthcare environment. Integrated seamlessly into the architectural wall, the multi-screen display presents donor names, recognition levels, and messages in a clean, highly legible format that complements the hospital’s calming aesthetic.

The installation leverages existing monitors from the original architects’ design, preserving the initial investment while significantly enhancing performance. To improve reliability and long-term functionality, the media player was upgraded to a more robust solution, ensuring consistent playback, stability, and scalability for ongoing donor recognition needs.

Powered by Arreya Digital Sign Software, the donor wall allows staff to manage and update content efficiently without physical reprints or disruption. Donor listings, campaign messaging, and recognition updates can be refreshed remotely, ensuring accuracy while supporting evolving fundraising initiatives and long-term stewardship.

The multi-screen configuration creates a unified visual canvas, allowing recognition to scale as donor participation grows. Thoughtful typography, brand-aligned colors, and balanced spacing ensure donor names are easy to read while maintaining a respectful, dignified presentation appropriate for a children’s hospital setting.

By pairing upgraded technology with purposeful design, the donor wall transforms recognition into an ongoing experience rather than a static display. The result is a future-ready solution that improves reliability, maximizes existing assets, and celebrates philanthropy while reinforcing the hospital’s mission of care, compassion, and community impact.
