In the world of fundraising, recognizing and honoring top donors goes far beyond a simple “thank you.” Effective donor recognition transforms generosity into a lasting legacy—one that inspires others to give and strengthens community bonds.
At Stobbe Design, we believe that how you recognize donors matters just as much as that you recognize them. That’s why custom acrylic donor displays have become one of the most impactful solutions for nonprofits, universities, hospitals, and community organizations alike. These displays are not only visually stunning, but they also serve as meaningful symbols of gratitude that reinforce your mission and values.
Let’s explore why acrylic displays are such a powerful tool for donor recognition, and how your organization can benefit from this modern and versatile solution.

Why Choose Acrylic Donor Displays?
Visual Appeal & Customization
Acrylic offers exceptional clarity and design flexibility. Imagine walking into a hospital lobby or community center and seeing a vibrant recognition wall with names, colors, and shapes that beautifully represent your mission. Each element can be customized to reflect your branding and identity, making every display a story in itself.
Durability
Unlike wood or metal, acrylic is resistant to scratches, fading, and moisture damage—perfect for both high-traffic areas and long-term installations. With minimal upkeep (a quick wipe with a damp cloth), your display will look as fresh years later as the day it was installed.
Cost-Effectiveness
Acrylic offers a high-end look at a more accessible price point compared to glass or heavy metals. This makes it an excellent option for organizations of all sizes—even smaller nonprofits with limited budgets can create an impactful donor wall without sacrificing quality.
Custom Design Possibilities With Acrylic
One of the greatest strengths of acrylic is its versatility. At Stobbe Design, we specialize in creating displays that do more than just list names—they tell a story.
Symbolic Designs – Trees representing growth, stars symbolizing achievement, or abstract art forms that align with your mission.
Versatile Shapes & Sizes – From donor walls to individual plaques, acrylic can be shaped into virtually any format.
Branded Elements – Incorporate logos, mission statements, or custom graphics to strengthen your visual identity.
Modern Enhancements – Features like embedded LED lighting, etched graphics, or modular designs allow for future expansion as new donors contribute.
Each project is a collaboration between our design team and your organization to create recognition solutions that are both functional and artistic.

Deepening Donor Engagement
Recognition is about more than names on a wall—it’s about fostering emotional connections. Acrylic displays can be designed to tell stories through integrated visuals, photographs, or even interactive elements like QR codes and touchscreens.
These features allow visitors to explore donor stories, learn about the impact of contributions, and connect with your cause on a deeper level. For hospitals, universities, and nonprofits, this transforms recognition from a static display into a living narrative of generosity and impact.
Event-Themed Displays
Acrylic is also a perfect medium for temporary or event-based recognition. From annual galas to community fundraisers, event-themed displays can celebrate milestones while giving donors a moment in the spotlight.
Because acrylic is lightweight and adaptable, these exhibits can be refreshed or rotated with ease—keeping recognition dynamic and engaging year-round.
Long-Lasting Impact with Acrylic Displays
Acrylic’s durability makes it an ideal choice for long-term recognition. With UV-resistant options available, your display will withstand both indoor and outdoor environments without yellowing or losing clarity. This ensures your investment honors donors not just today, but for years to come.
At Stobbe Design, we take pride in building recognition systems that stand the test of time—both in craftsmanship and in emotional impact.
