Hi All!

Our Donor Relations team has taken on the project of tracking down and clearly documenting named items around our campus (ie: seats, trees, rooms, buildings, robes, etc.).  Sometimes this includes a gift where we have had it clearly identified, sometimes it's just a plaque was found that has been placed but we don't have a specific gift associated with it.  Sometimes it's the donor themselves that is listed and other times it's been named in honor/memory of someone else.  I'm curious if anyone else tracks this information in their CRM  and if so, where have you found this easiest to track?  We use RE NXT, and we have a few ideas but would really love to hear what others are doing to track this information to make sure we have thought through all of our options.

Thank You!

Hi Tammy,

Yes, we track all naming opportunities and plaques in Raiser's Edge.  Works great!  We created specific constituent types for naming opportunities and "plaques on campus."   The record includes a photo of the signage or plaque and its location.  It's also linked to the donor and the gift officer who facilitated the gift in case we have any questions.  Kudos to my colleague who ran with this project and was dogged in tracking down 50 years of plaques because its labor intensive.  However, well worth it and just good stewardship.  Happy to talk in more detail offline.   Mark
