The Stewardship & Donor Relations team will soon be sending out email communications to all benefactors who have reached a cumulative giving milestone of $100,000+ and as a result qualify for recognition on our new digital recognition display in the Hesburgh Library.

In the coming weeks, all impacted benefactors will receive an initial email sent under Lou Nanni’s signature providing an introduction to the digital recognition display and sharing news that the static financial aid and Endowments for Excellence recognition displays currently located in the Eck Center and the Main Building will eventually be removed next year. This note will be shortly followed by an email sent from a member of the Stewardship & Donor Relations team to provide donors with additional details and allow them to send us feedback on their name display. Katherine Lane will be sending customized email messages to all benefactors at the $5M+ level, and Jessica Reasons will be sending a template email to all other benefactors, asking them to complete a short survey to provide approval. Primary fundraisers will be copied on both communications when the benefactor has one assigned. We hope that this will increase transparency and give fundraisers the opportunity to check-in with benefactors regarding this exciting new project and assist us in encouraging replies if needed. For all corporations and organizations that qualify for recognition, Julia Onghetich will be in touch shortly to discuss providing approvals.

We look forward to this new opportunity to provide our benefactors with an interactive and dynamic recognition display. Please feel free to reach out to Jessica Reasons, Director of Donor Recognition, if you have any questions or concerns.
