Donor Recognition

Honour Wall

If your accrued contributions over the years total $5,000 or more from any type of donation (campaigns, events, etc.), your name will be placed on the Foundation’s prominently displayed honour wall near the Institute’s main entrance. The honour wall is comprised of six (6) categories:

$5,000 to $19,999
$20,000 to $99,999
$100,000 to $249,000
$250,000 to $499,999
$500,000 to $999,999
$1 million and over

The list appearing on the honour wall is revised annually. The names of donors who have contributed $100,000 or more will be left in perpetuity; others must make at least one gift every five years for their names to continue appearing on the wall.
