Bequeathals

2010-05-03T09:00:00.000-04:00

Bequeathal is a very interesting word. It comes from the Middle English biquethen, which comes from the Old English becwethan, which is formed with the root be and the verb cwethan. Cwethan means to say, and it also gives us the word “quote,” from “quoth”. The prefix be can mean one of three things: thoroughly, to make or seem, and to provide with. So literally the word bequeathal means to make said, or to provide with saying. This makes sense because when something is bequeathed, it is made said, usually in legal terms.

To commemorate a bequeathal, bronze plaques are used. Sometimes other kinds of memorial plaques, like a Tree of Life or Donor Walls are used, but, coming full circle, the point of these bronze plaques is to show what has been said. In a way, donor plaques bequeath bequeathals.

Donor walls are standard forms of commemorating bequeathals, in that they do honor to the gift that has been presented. If there were no donor plaques, it would be equivalent to not recognizing that a gift has been given, in a way, denying the existence of the gift, or at least not saying thank you. So say thanks, and buy bronze plaques to commemorate your bequeathals.

Some Facts About Engraving

2010-04-19T09:00:00.006-04:00

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about engraving, here’s some information to pique your interest. Engraving is the practice of cutting grooves into metals including gold, silver, brass, steel or glass, and is used to personalize everything from jewelry, trophies, bronze plaques and memorial plaques to knives, firearms and pet tags.

Metal engraving dates back to the 5th century B.C. and was particularly prevalent in ancient Greece in the 3rd and 4th centuries B.C. Urns were embellished with mythological scenes and there was further use for engraving with the development of the alphabet. Engraving reached its peak in the 15th century A.D. as it was used to decorate armor and shields to announce a person’s alliance.

Engraving was traditionally done by hand using a steel-tipped cutting tool called a burin (from the French word meaning "cold chisel"). A burin is typically held at a 30 degree angle to the surface, with the index and middle finger guiding the shaft. (The 16th century Flemish engraver Hendrik Goltzius’s malformed hand was perfectly suited to guiding a burin!) Each engraver has his or her own style and may use round gravers to make round cuts or V-point gravers to make angled cuts.

Today, engraving is still done by hand or by using newer techniques like laser engraving. Through the use of computer-controlled intense beams of light, laser technology allows clean and precise engravings to be made at very fast speeds.

Donor Plaque Awards Are a Great Way To Honor Good Work

2010-04-12T09:00:00.000-04:00

Honoring someone who has done something great is a time-honored tradition in history. It is truly a great way to show your respect for someone who has done something for others. Things like bronze plaques, memorial walls, and donor plaque awards not only serve as a visual reminder for the recipient, but serves as a reminder for every who views it that service is a feasible thing. These visual reminders can also be a great inspiration to those who view them. Some people may be more inclined to follow suit of someone’s good deed when they see how great of an impact this one person had on an organization.

To really personalize a thank you for someone who has gone above and beyond their call of duty, nothing holds a candle to donor plaque awards. There are literally, hundreds of designs to choose from that can make your honoree feel appreciated. Donor plaque awards are beautiful and can last for ages. They are the ultimate showcase to future generations, a source of encouragement for them to do good things, because they will be noticed and appreciated.

Tree of Life: A Symbol of Prosperity

2010-04-01T09:00:00.001-04:00

The tree of life is a common symbol in religious art of all denominations. Perhaps it is such a common motif in religious art, because of the deep meaning it implies. Its roots are in heaven, and the branches and leaves spread out and bring prosperity to the earth. The tree of life works well for donor walls because the donors, or the branches of the tree, spread and bring prosperity to the earth, and their good works are no doubt rooted in heaven.

The tree of life donor wall is a great way to give passer-bys a visual reminder of the people that opened their hearts and contributed to the prosperity of your organization. It also is also the perfect way to put a visual forth, of the amount of help your organization has received. The larger your tree, the more people you have working for your cause. So for those who haven’t donated, or are thinking about donating, this wall really puts into perspective how the pieces (or donors) no matter how small they are, they work together to form one cohesive whole.

The Narrative of Life

2010-03-22T09:00:00.001-04:00

Philanthropy is more than just a kind act of charity. It is also a way of preserving for future generations a hope and possibility that has been envisioned by a benefactor. Hope for the future is one of the most characteristic human traits. It is a way of attempting to shape future consciousnesses. Memorial plaques and donor walls commemorate the plans for the future from the perspective of the present, reminding the future generations of this plan, and hopefully inspiring them to live in accord with the gift that was given unto them.
Philanthropy is one of the most active ways of forming chaos out of the future’s uncertainty. It gives an organization direction and stability, structure and momentum. Philanthropy is a plan, a furtherance of ideas and an approach towards a goal. If such a plan did not exist, the furtherance may or may not occur, and if it did, it might take an extraordinarily long period of time. Memorial plaques and donor walls are the most requisite way of demonstrating appreciation for this narrative and the cohesion of a plan. Our lives form a story, which unfolds as we live. Philanthropy is a way of providing for a sequel.

Philanthropy: Time Honored And Cherished

2010-03-15T09:00:00.002-04:00

(Prometheus Bound, Jacob Jordaens 1593-1678)

Philanthropy is a time honored tradition of giving and receiving. The word’s origins are from Prometheus Bound, thought to be written by Aeschylus in about 500 B.C.E. Prometheus’ name comes from philanthropos tropos and means a character of humanity loving . This is because the Titan gave humans optimism and fire, two gifts that allow us to distinguish ourselves from the beasts. Today, the word connotes an altruistic enhancement of a community through usually financial means. If you have experienced any philanthropy recently and your bequeathal has been prodigious, it may be time to think about donor plaques.

Donor plaques originated in the early 20th century as large American institutions needed a way to thank the providers of large sums who gave to their organizations. Today this practice has evolved into a multiplicity of ways of giving thanks. For example, donor walls have taken shape as a Tree of Life and are now more than simple methods of appreciation: they are aesthetic emoluments both for the community and the giver.

And whether you choose the more traditional bronze plaques and memorial walls, or a beautiful Tree of Life, you can be sure that such recognition will inspire the kindness and generosity of others to follow after the first.

Celebrating Sharing

2010-03-08T09:00:00.001-05:00

Acts of kindness are fundamental to human nature. If they were not, humans would be satisfied living in solitude, which for most of us is not the case. Communities are founded on giving back. This notion can be seen in all walks of life. From learning to share as a child to giving back to the community the excess of one’s life savings, the same fundamental sentiment is demonstrated. But the same thanks given after playing with a friend’s toys does not do justice to a large display of generosity. For a special way of appreciation, look to donor plaques.

Or if a legacy has been built from too many names to fit on donor plaques, you may want to think about memorial walls, or even a tree of life, which is a more creative way of expressing gratitude. A tree of life fosters further acts of giving through its beautiful enshrinement of names.

So if you want to preserve the memory of an individual who has made a difference to your community, think about memorial plaques, donor plaques, or even a tree of life. You can celebrate that age old feeling of sharing by forever preserving the individual’s spirit.

However You Want to Enshrine a Benefactor We Have a Way!

2010-03-01T09:00:00.000-05:00

Memorial walls and donor plaques can be found everywhere – I’ve even seen them in bars. You may commonly associate them with resplendent acts of generosity, which can be memorialized with a Tree of Life quite nicely, but your benefactors don’t have to give millions to feel appreciated. Judaica Engraving International has options aplenty for your desire to show your gratitude. Let’s take a look at a few:

Tree of Life: This is one of our more popular ways of commemoration. It allows you to express artistry in the rededication of your building as our selection ranges from dozens of different tree designs to a horse and even an apple design.

Donor Walls & Memorial Walls: If you’re interested in a more traditional style, we have flat panels for your wall with wood, metal and even stone.

Donor Plaques: These dedication plaques allow you to personalize a commemoration for those special people who have helped your community to grow.

Stained Glass: This beautiful way of remembering will surely last for generations to come. Whether you are interested in color or clear engraving, your donors will feel special with their memory enshrined in glass.

If these options aren’t enough, or if you want to get an even better idea of our selection,

Donor Plaques, Memorial Plaques, Tree of Life – Ways to Enshrine Beneficence

2010-02-22T09:00:00.000-05:00

When I see donor walls and the dozens of names enshrined on them, I think of the past beneficence and virtue that has long been intrinsic to mankind. There is new evidence that along with the most simple pleasures of eating and procreating, the same parts of the brain triggered during these acts are engaged when we participate in magnanimous acts. If you find this strange or incredible, just think about it. Giving back is something that allows for us to share in our fellow humanity; it is a prescription for community, and humans, as social animals, need fraternity.

When all of our basic needs are met, what more can we do but think about the happiness of others? Beneficence is one of the highest virtues, and a key to true happiness.
Donor plaques preserve the memories of giving, and are a way to ensure that the names of benefactors are never forgotten. Donor Walls, bronze plaques, a Tree of Life, these are all beautiful methods by which you can remind others of one of the most important human virtues. Judaica Engraving International understands the importance of giving, and wants to help you commemorate those who have aided your organization.

Donor Walls: An Incentive To Give For Your Donors!

2010-02-15T08:11:00.000-05:00

Groups and organizations of all kinds know just how important it is to have the support of their community, be it financial, emotional, or physical. It’s time to show recognition and gratitude to the individuals that have given their time, energy, and money to make your cause great, with donor plaques, memorial plaques, and donor walls.

Cast bronze plaques are an excellent, and relatively inexpensive way of showing your appreciation to an individual or group that has made a difference. By either presenting bronze plaques in a ceremony, or installing a Tree of Life donor wall that shows the growth of your organization and the involvement of the community, you are not only saying thank you, you are also providing an extra incentive to give.

Consider the honor of a family to have their name mounted, in the form of bronze plaques or memorial plaques, on donor walls or memorial walls around their city or town; their name will be forever remembered for their involvement and generosity with regards to the well-being of their community.

Bronze Plaques So That We Do Not Forget

2010-02-08T07:29:00.000-05:00

Yup, it’s true, we are capable of being very selfish as human beings, but we are also capable of the most selfless actions and of being able to live up to the high ideals we often fall short of achieving. Bronze plaques are an excellent way to remember the brave and giving actions of the individuals and groups who have given so much to be an example to us all. Cast bronze plaques are as durable as the effects of the selfless or extraordinary actions of the individuals we would be celebrating with stunning memorial plaques.

If the group being remembered is too large for a bronze plaque, then that situation would warrant the commissioning of memorial walls. Bare in mind that the style, or design of the donor walls do not only have to consist of a list of names inscribed belong one another in a row. For extra effect a tree of life design would be an amazing donor "wall" as well, symbolic of the life that has given so much and touched the lives of so many others can be selected.

So see what donor plaques, tree of life or donor wall designs are available, because these days it seems we have no end of heroes, and the names of heroes should be memorialized as best we can, lest we forget the greatness we are able to display in the midst of the challenges life throws at us.

Recognize Generous Individuals by Displaying Their Names On Cast Bronze Plaques

2010-02-01T15:23:00.002-05:00

Philanthropy has long been a necessary and widely recognized virtue. Giving time, energy and financial backing to a cause or an organization that one believes in is a way for individuals to selflessly show just how much they believe in and care about that cause. It is important to recognize the individuals that keep the spirit of giving alive, and one excellent way of doing so is by creating donor plaques or donor walls to honor their contributions. Despite the fact that philanthropists are typically self-effacing individuals that simply wish to be of help, there are also individuals that will be motivated to give to a given cause, if they know that they will be publicly recognized.

Consider the effect of a wall adorned with cast bronze plaques and the individual’s name. Other families may wish to honor the memory of a loved one by giving to a cause in their name. Memorial walls are an excellent way of recognizing an individual that has passed, whose generosity has made the construction of a building, or the continuation of an important cause, possible. One unique and attractive form of donor wall that has become popular of late is the Tree of Life.

It is literally a tree design that features bronze plaques as its individual leaves. Every time an individual or organization contributes to the given cause, their name is engraved on one of these plaques, and forever remembered by those that benefited for their generosity.

Donor Plaques Aren’t Just for Donors!

2010-01-25T03:49:00.000-05:00

Don’t let the name fool you – you can use custom engraved donor plaques for much more than just honoring benefactors. Because, let’s face it, not every business is privy to hospital wings, libraries, and other big-time donations.

At my business, I like to order a beautiful wooden plaque to honor each employee of the month. I have it engraved with the worker’s name, his or her time at the company, and the current month and year. The finished product is presented at a company-wide ceremony where I honor the special worker and explain his or her virtues. We even order a cake!

Ever since I started this tradition, I’ve noticed a real increase in worker motivation. And whenever I’m interviewing new employees, I always show them our wall of plaques to get them excited about working here.

In a way, though, I suppose calling them “donor plaques” is appropriate. Even though I pay my employees, they always exceed my expectations. It’s almost like they’re donating, except instead of money I’m lucky enough to receive their time, energy, passion, and innovation.

Tree Of Life Plaques Leave A Lasting Impression

2010-01-18T08:19:00.003-05:00

As you walk into the lobby of a hospital, you see this beautiful tree with golden leaves. As you get closer to the tree, you notice that on each gold leaf there is the name of a person, with a date engraved on it. Not knowing what it is exactly that you are looking at; you find a small donor plaque on the wall that states, “On this tree of life are the names of the very generous people who sacrificed for others.” Donor walls and trees of life adorn so many lobbies and so many hallways of many different buildings throughout the world.

For so many people this is a simple decoration, a “thank you” to those who have given something. For others this is the last thank you, the last goodbye to a loved one, a family member or a friend. In blood centers throughout the United States there are donor walls with the names of people who religiously donate blood every fifty-six days or platelets every two weeks. Without these people, so many other lives would not have been saved. Throughout hospitals around the world, you will find a donor wall or a tree of life recognizing someone for giving a piece of themselves to save the life of another and in most cases without ever meeting that person.

Donor walls and donor plaques are a special way of thanking people and recognizing people for doing something outstanding. The recognition and thanks is of the highest magnitude and will be displayed for years and for generations to see and appreciate.

Thanking Your Donors Could Lead To Even More Pledges

2010-01-07T08:15:00.000-05:00

My experience with the community relations office of our local domestic violence shelter taught me a few things about large-scale fundraising. When it comes to going after the really big donations, showing appreciation takes on a whole new meaning. Extreme donors are motivated by seeing their names prominently placed on a donor wall, a permanent donor plaque, or a leaf on a Tree of Life. Their generous friends are equally motivated by seeing their peer get the honors treatment. This is how an organization’s donor recognition program can become a great incentive for more donors.

In addition to public recognition, we planned yearly donor parties to thank those who provided the financial underpinning to our cause. We made sure everything connected with the party was first class. The invitations referred to the donors as “V.I.P.s” and we even acquired the services of a few regional celebrities to help honor those on whom our little shelter so depended. We invited each donor to invite a friend – our subtle way to work that peer angle. By the time the evening was over, we often doubled our donor base.

Big givers also like to have their photos taken for the newspaper, along with stories about their generosity. So we always invited members of the press to our parties and any ceremonies held through the year involving our donor walls and donor plaques or the Tree of Life in the children’s playroom. These actions kept the donations flowing and our clients well served.

Why Is Donor Recognition Such An Important Part Of An Organization?

2009-12-28T07:58:00.000-05:00

Everyone likes some recognition for the good things they have done, which includes donors who donate to fundraisers, charities, and other organizations. If you are looking for a way to recognize your donors, there are many options you have to consider. However, the most important thing you should remember when recognizing donors is that such recognition often builds donor loyalty, which is exactly what you want for your organization. The first problem I had when choosing how I wanted to acknowledge my donors was choosing the form of recognition.

Donor Walls and Donor Plaques are a great start, but they are often done with many people enjoying them for the first month or so, and then forgetting them afterward. If you are looking for a positively wonderful way to recognize someone special and close to your organization, you should consider planting a Tree of Life. These are a lasting testament to just how valuable your donor or donors are, and depending on the type of tree you choose to plant, it could last well over 50 years.

Regardless of the method you choose, you should be sure to acknowledge all of your donors, no matter how small. After all, you want to keep them as donors and the best way to do this is to show your appreciation for their contribution by telling the world that you and your organization are appreciative of the donors. With donor parties and plaques, you can be sure to keep your donors in the public eye, which will encourage them to continue supporting your organization.

Special And Innovative Ways To Commemorate People

2009-12-21T10:12:00.002-05:00

“Speak my name and the breath of life returns, remember me and I live again!” These words you will find on many ancient Egyptian tomb walls. They literally believed that if they were remembered, their spirit, soul or ka as they called it, would live on immortal. This is why having your name everywhere was so important to them. They literally believed their immortal afterlife depended on it. The downside of this, of course was that if your enemy defaced your name on a monument or tomb, you and your soul were in serious trouble.

Nowadays people still have this mindset of wanting to be remembered, and the simple truth is that for all we know it is the only form of immortality we have. We donate to charities, do great and courageous things or work hard all our life in the hope that we will be remembered for the actions of a life well lived and contributions made. We still have our names on these monuments in the form of donor walls, donor plaques, trees of life outlining our achievements, a legacy or witness to our lives, to show we were here, that we mattered.

We know how important donor recognition is and that this will lead to more donors. We not only offer special ways to commemorate an act of charity, kindness or any life achievement; but also offer a service to help organize a donor party and a way to say thank you to whomever has helped or given in a loving and generous way. We invite you to see our collection of donor plaque, donor walls and tree of life designs to make sure all potential donors know that they will be appreciated and their contributions or hard work will never be forgotten.

What Kind Of People Buy Donor Walls?

2009-12-14T08:34:00.000-05:00

This is actually a really good question. I think a lot of people assume that the only time you would buy a donor wall is if you were placing someone’s name on the wall, you know… in memory of. But this isn't necessarily the case. You can also purchase donor walls and donor plaques to show appreciation towards donors, commemorate someone for doing something heroic, or even to mention who planned your building.

And there are moving stories when it comes to donor walls. One of the stories I have seen lately was for a gentleman that had suddenly died of cardiac arrest. His wife wanted to set up a memorial for him and needed help with the contributions. She ended up building the memorial for her husband and with it she also added a donor wall, to thank all the people that contributed money to the memorial.

The wall included the contributors name, how much they contributed and in what way they knew this man. Not only does it pay tribute to the person that had passed away, but it also pays tribute to the contributors as well. It's just a really nice way to not only say goodbye, but to also say thank you as well.

You can be an individual business, company, or as we can see above, even an individual person that simply wants to celebrate a person's life. The donor plaques are also a really nice option if you want to pay tribute to a handful of donors - one of my all-time favorite plates is the Tree Of Life. This is a standing plaque with bronze tree trunk and gold plated (or silver) leaves which the names of the donors are etched on. Very inspiring, very beautiful and very well-made.

Tree Of Life Donor Plaques For Your Charity

2009-12-07T08:40:00.002-05:00

For the most parts, charities are going to depend on people in order to survive. You have the Lupus Fund for example, that uses donations from members and from people that want to donate money to the fund in order to allow them to contribute fund for critical research to acquire the causes and curse for lupus. These funds also help support victims that have fallen ill to Lupus as well. These funds and charities don't make money any other way so they absolutely need people TO contribute and TO donate.

For funds such as this one, a Tree Of Life donor plaque would be a terrific idea in order to honor those people that have contributed money towards the fund. Of course people can also be anonymous as well, but a lot of these donor walls and donor plaques are going to be in memoriam of the names of these people that contribute, maybe a name of their company or business (almost like that of a sponsor) and if need be how much they donated.

This is more or less a "thank you" gift to show your supporters how much you appreciate them. You can also purchase individual donor plaques as well - this is nice if you have just a handful of people every year or every month that donate. However, the donor walls are great for charities or funds where you have dozens if not hundreds of people donating.

Donor Walls; One Of The Best Ways To Commemorate Your Donors!

2009-12-01T12:06:00.002-05:00

If you have a business or an institution, chances are you have donors. These donors are a HUGE part of your company and or institution so it's important that you memorialize them in such ways to let them know how much you appreciate them. One of the best ways of going about this is by placing donor walls or donor plaques in your building. A donor wall is more than just a list of the donor names and how much they donated.

Donor walls should also be a presentation of your most substantial achievements, a recognition of your most benevolent and dedicated supporters, and a compelling statement of your purpose and visual sensation. Not only are these donor walls and door plaques incredibly beautiful and stunning, but they also are practical as well. These donor walls will bring in more donors and are actually quite cost efficient depending on the route you choose to take.

A lot of these are quite awe-inspiring and may include everything from etched names in glass to etched names in various types of plaques such as the Tree Of Life which has a bronze tree trunk along with brass or silver plated leaves with the names of your donors! You have a lot of options when it comes to customizing these types of donor walls and donor plaques, just visit www.jeii.com and see for yourself!

What Are My Options For Donor Recognition?

2009-11-23T08:11:00.000-05:00

When people think of donors they automatically think of a person or business that has given away money to another person or business. However, this can also be in appreciation for something someone has done, it can be in memory of someone or can just be a list of people that have somehow made your life or your business more successful. When it comes to these donor recognition options you have all kinds of carrying options available to you - which is perfect since everyone seems to have their own styles!

Many buildings across the United States have these types of donor recognition plaques including war memorials, buildings that have been constructed in memoriam of, and hospitals that are nonprofit organization. The two major options are donor walls and donor plaques. The Tree Of Life plaques were one of my favorites just because of the symbology behind the tree and that actual structural design of the Tree of Life.

All of our donor recognition plaques have the same function - which is to line up your donors with names, titles, their business and even how much donated to the charity or organization. This is fantastic way to show your gratitude and appreciation for people that donate to companies!

Tree Of Life Plaques - What Are These For?

2009-11-16T08:00:00.002-05:00

Recently while doing some searching around online I found these really neat plaques. Actually they weren't really like a plaque. I consider a plaque to be a piece of bronze or other type of metal that is screwed or hinged on to a board or other raw material. These Trees of Life were actual standing trees - no board included. Some included boards, but I liked the ones that didn't better! The tree leaves were bronze and could include donor names - people that have donated to your business, community, charity, etc.

The trunk of the tree was then made out of a hardened material that stayed flush with whatever you were to hang it on - in most cases a door or a wall. This is pretty much to just show gratitude and appreciation for your donors. Depending on the type of business you have and the number of donors you have you might want to look at different options besides the tree of life such as donor walls and donor plaques. All the sites online are going to offer different shapes, sizes, colors, options for engraving, prices, etc.

Even if you don't like the idea of donor walls or donor plaques, there are also some other options for you to consider as well such as book of memory, door add on plaques, awards of recognition and much more!

What Is A Donor Wall And How Do I Find One For My Business?

2009-11-09T08:54:00.000-05:00

"Donor Wall"

Very simply put, donor walls are quite literally a wall that allows you to place donors names on the board. These donor walls don't really come in a standard size per se because people can really have the freedom to choose whatever size options they want to choose from. There are also donor plaques available as well.

"Dedication Plaque"

The donor plaques are usually much smaller than that of a "wall", but they still can vary by size and shape depending on what you want, how many people you are going to place on the plaque and how much room you need for the names.

Some people will opt-in and choose that they want their name, business and how much they donated while others will just want a name and the name of their company or something of the like.

Are You A Business Or Fundraiser Looking For Donor Plaques?

2009-11-04T13:52:00.000-05:00

If you are a business that has had donors in the past, it's really important that you show gratitude to the person and or company that donated. This can actually be done a few different ways, but one of the most professional and sincere is to get donor plaques or donor walls.

Frankly even when it comes to donating I always like doing it anonymously, but if someone spends a lot of money, this is a really nice way to show your appreciation. There are other kinds of donor gratitude options as well, different shapes of the plaques, different designs, options, etc. An elegant option is choosing the Tree of Life.

Usually this specific "tree" will be bronzed along with room on the actual leaves where you can add the names of the donors. This one might be particularly useful if you have a lot of donors. The styling is really going to depend on you, but in case you were curious of what is available and what is not it really does to reach a point of limitations!

Stained Glass, not only in churches…

2009-10-30T10:21:00.000-04:00

The origin of stained glass dates back to ancient times, to the Romans and the Egyptians, but throughout the last thousand years, stained glass is known to decorate the windows of significant buildings.

Stained glass is made by adding metallic salts during the manufacture of the glass, which creates unique colors. The pieces of colored glass are then crafted into windows, sculptures and structures, while usually arranged to depict patterns, portraits and pictures.

The makers of the glass often paint extra details on the glass in order to enhance the overall design of the work. It’s not easy to create a piece of stained glass and many consider the processes to be highly artistic. Engineering skills are also required in order to achieve perfect assembly, so the window will fit into the building space, resist rain and wind and support its own weight.
