Does donor recognition matter?
Donor recognition is essential for keeping new donors invested in an organization‘s mission. It supports donor retention, increases donation amounts, and helps the organization connect with more potential supporters. It’s also a core component of any effective donor stewardship strategy — the act of building strong, lasting, and beneficial relationships with donors after their first gift.

Somerset Communuity College’s Donor Recognition Wall is located in the entrance lobby of the main academic classroom building on campus. The four 14-foot “torches” display the names of major donors to the college, arranged according to levels of giving. The extended glass arc is etched with W.B. Yeats’ quote “Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” The etching on the gold band describes the piece and includes praise for past and future donors.
Hall of Honor
Designed as part of the oldest campus building entrance renovation, Somerset Community College Hall of Honor was created to publicly honor outstanding alumni, faculty, staff, and friends. The Hall of Honor recognizes individuals who have exceeded the call of duty and dedicated themselves to the success and academic excellence of the college community.
