    Healthcare & Hospitals

    55 installed projects

    Hospital donor recognition has to survive a clinical environment. These walls use sealed, wipeable surfaces that satisfy infection-control review, sit comfortably in high-traffic atriums and corridors, and lean on impact storytelling because grateful-patient giving responds to outcomes rather than name lists.

    Nonprofits & Foundations

    50 installed projects

    Nonprofit recognition usually has to do more with less. These projects favour updateable formats so a growing donor list never forces a rebuild, and they put mission and impact on the wall alongside names because that is what drives repeat giving.

    Education & Universities

    31 installed projects

    Campus recognition carries institutional identity — colors, mascot, class-year structure — and it grows every single year. Rail systems and expandable panel layouts dominate here because alumni and annual fund donors need to be added on a predictable cycle.

    Faith & Religious

    8 installed projects

    Recognition in worship spaces tends toward the symbolic rather than the transactional — flames, leaves, stained-glass effects, tribute panels. Memorial and legacy giving usually matters more than campaign tiers, and materials are chosen to sit quietly within the sanctuary.

    Arts, Culture & Zoos

    2 installed projects

    Cultural institutions can be the most expressive clients. Recognition borrows directly from the collection or programming, from treble clefs and theater masks to original animal photography, so the wall reads as part of the visitor experience.

    Corporate

    2 installed projects

    Corporate recognition has to meet brand standards and workplace design review. These displays typically recognize employee giving campaigns and community partnerships in lobbies and headquarters, and they get refreshed as programs change.
