What is a Donor Recognition Tree?
A donor recognition tree is a wall installation that is designed to publicly recognize your donors, funders and supporters. The tree leaves are made at various sizes to represent different levels of sponsorship, and each leaf is typically personalized like a small plaque to recognize each donor’s support. The beauty of a giving tree donor walls is that they’re designed to grow and expand over time, which makes them particularly suitable for ongoing fundraisers and campaigns.
Not only do donor recognition trees look beautiful and inviting, they’re also great for raising funds or capital! For example, a donor tree with 100 leaves and an average donation of $150 will raise $15,000; while a giving tree with 250 leaves and an average donation of $400 can raise $100,000! This makes donor trees an ideal way to raise funds for community centers, schools, hospitals, care facilities, museums, churches, seniors’ homes, synagogues, associations, social housing, and new buildings.

How to install your Donor Recognition Tree
Your donor recognition tree will be shipped to you with everything you need to complete your installation, including a custom template created specially for your project. To install your donor tree, follow these steps:
- Clear some space so that you can unpack all of your components and unfold your installation template.
- Prepare the surface of your wall by washing it with STP to remove any dust or oils that may be present.
- Once your wall is cleaned and dry, use a tape measure and level to secure the installation template in place according to the instructions provided. Take your time to ensure the template is correctly aligned and secure as this will be the foundation of your installation.
- With your template placed on the wall, begin to remove the double sided tape from the back of each component, find its location on the wall within the template, then press it firmly into place to secure it.
- Work carefully in sections while referring to your installation instructions. Add one piece at a time until all components have been secured to your wall.
- Once all components are in place, carefully remove the template and store it safely in case you need to use it again.
- Your donor tree installation is now complete and ready to enjoy!

How to update and expand your Donor Recognition Tree
Over time you may need to expand your donor tree to recognize new donors that have come on board. We make that easy for you to do by:
- Providing you with a digital catalog of all the components of your installation so that you can easily order more donor elements as you need them, and they will be consistent with what you already have in place.
- When you receive new donor leaves or birds, you can simply place them on the wall freehand, where you like. Because there are no fixed or “correct” locations for each piece, your installation will grow organically.
- If you have donor elements you no longer want, we also provide thinner wood “caps” that can be used to cover them up. Caps can either be blank, or they can have personalization.
