Medical Foundation Establishes Recognition Graphic Identity

Donor Recognition Icon for Mission Healthcare Foundation
Last week Mission Healthcare Foundation unveiled the recognition graphic standards program at their SECU Cancer Center . Over the last 6 months, we provided our entire program development set of services from area naming master planning, to naming opportunity policy setting to donor recognition product design and re-order templating for accuracy. All was accomplished in concert with the hospital’s Marketing staff. The Cancer Center is named for a local credit union…we made sure that serious negotiations took place in regard to how the hospital should present the building’s donor name in print, as well as on the building and throughout the campus’ way-finding plan.

TheThanksTank.com™ Roundtable’s Critical Question
Today we sparked out-of-the-box thinking (over boxed lunches) with multimedia donor recognition experts, Harv Mock and James Graham of Planned Legacy and a select group of forward thinking non-profit professionals, discussing the role of new media in donor recognition. The conversation started with an overview of the “perfect storm” of fundraising and donor communication demands that created the need for more dynamic, engaging communication tactics, leading to the influx of electronic and interactive displays. Harv and James were able to show examples of multimedia presentations in several formats and demonstrate the versatility of electronic recognition; the slides from today’s presentation are included here.
