Donor Walls & Donor Recognition Plaques

Custom Donor Walls for Synagogues and Institutions

A donor wall is your community's way of saying thank you. It displays the names of the donors, founders and partners who built the synagogue, beit midrash or institution, and encourages future giving. At Matanyah we design and manufacture donor walls and donor plaques to size, to match your space and the number of names.

Types of Donor Walls

Classic donor board – a board with donor names and room to add plaques later.

Donor tree / Tree of Life wall – a tree with branches and leaves or birds, each carrying a donor's name. Ideal for an ongoing fundraising campaign.

Founders and partners board – for the major donors who established the institution.

Illuminated donor wall – acrylic with LED lighting for a modern, elegant look.

Donor walls for institutions – for nonprofits, medical centers, yeshivas and schools.

How It Works

We send you a sketch and a visualization of the board on your wall. Once you approve, we manufacture it ready for mounting. We can plan space for names to be added later, so the board grows with your community.

Donor Wall FAQ

What is the difference between a donor wall and a memorial board?

A donor wall honors those who gave to the building and its activities. A memorial board honors the memory of the departed. Many communities combine both on the same wall. See also memorial plaques and boards.

Can names be added after installation?

Yes. We design the board with additional plaques or leaves that can be added as needed.

What sizes and materials are available?

Every board is made to size: wood, acrylic and combinations of the two, with or without lighting.
