Prepare accurate content for your school’s digital donor wall
A donor wall has to get every name and preference right, which makes the content work as important as the display. Rocket can enter and organize the donor list your advancement office approves, so your team spends its time checking rather than typing.

Why it matters
Donor plaques can’t keep up with giving
Engraved donor walls fill up and take time to change, so new gifts can wait months to be recognized. Names get added in batches by whoever has time. Donors notice when they’re missing or listed wrong.
Ideas for Donor Wall Content Project
Giving levels as sections
Group donors by the levels your advancement office already uses.
Name display preferences
Record exactly how each donor wants to be listed, including anonymous gifts.
Named spaces and endowments
Profiles for named rooms or scholarships can explain who they honor.
Campaign-specific sections
A capital campaign can have its own section alongside annual giving.
Stories from major donors
With permission, a short story explains why a donor gives.
Class gift recognition
Graduating class gifts connect donor recognition to alumni history.
