<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The “Honor Wall of Fame” at
the brilliant <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">City</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Museum</st1:PlaceType> in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">St.
Louis</st1:place></st1:City> beautifully ignores the matter of financial
values, and instead lists significant donors in categories of appreciated
practical and inspirational support. Created to honour the creation
and start-up of the museum, it is divided into lists of “Stars,
Visionaries, Creators, Believers and Dreamers”. The names are
inscribed in a marble ceremonial wall, itself a creation of significant beauty,
financial value and permanence. Some names are corporate businesses
and some are families or individuals. In studying the lists, it is immediately
evident that the quality of support, the passion for support, and a variety of
types of support are being recognized; and that the dollar value for each
contributor was simply what they were able to do from their own
situation. There was no hierarchy based on financial
wealth. The real value of support was cleverly honoured.
This approach tends to inspire anyone visiting to wish to contribute, no matter
what their financial ability. Although this wall was to celebrate
the contributors at the creation of the museum, a similar approach could be
used for specific projects or exhibits. Also in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">City</st1:PlaceType> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Museum</st1:PlaceType></st1:place>,
they had a wall collaged with small carved jade fish scribed with names for
donors for a fish exhibit, and a tree with gold foil leaves with donor names for
a nature exhibit. Dollar value was never mentioned, just
contribution. While visiting in the region, I met people of all
stripes who were proud to have “contributed” to the museum, feeling
it was “theirs” as a result. The high quality of the
museum experience there inspired pride in the donors. It was the
museum itself that was important, not the visibility of being at the top of a
money list.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

would appreciate some insight into how other institutions have approached
their donor walls. Are you recognizing smaller individual donations
and longer term corporate donations in the same place? Do you have a minimum
donation for wall recognition? We also are having discussions about how
long donors should be recognized on our donor wall. (For the life of the
exhibit? For the calendar year? For as long as they are donating?)<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
