FAQ
Common Questions on How to Achieve More With Digital Donor Recognition
Practical answers about donor recognition displays, supporter management, data sources, existing screens, and keeping recognition current.
Digital donor recognition uses screens to acknowledge donors, sponsors, partners, and other supporters through content that can change as supporter information, campaigns, and recognition needs change.
Common formats include:
- Digital donor walls
- Giving-level displays
- Donor listings
- Individual donor spotlights
- Sponsor and partner recognition
- Campaign progress
- Impact stories
With Screen Pulse, these experiences can use shared supporter data, so organizations can manage recognition centrally instead of maintaining every display as separate content.
A traditional digital donor wall typically focuses on one dedicated recognition display. Screen Pulse treats donor and sponsor recognition as part of a broader digital signage system.
Organizations can manage supporter data once and use it across multiple recognition experiences, screens, and locations. Recognition can appear on dedicated donor walls or alongside schedules, programs, campaigns, announcements, and other content already managed through Screen Pulse.
Screen Pulse provides a centralized place to manage the information used for donor and sponsor recognition. Depending on the recognition experience, supporter information can include:
- Name
- Relationship type, such as donor, sponsor, partner, or in-kind sponsor
- Recognition or sponsorship level
- Recognition period
- Donor since
- Other information used in specific recognition displays
The same supporter information can then be reused across donor walls, listings, individual spotlights, sponsor displays, campaigns, and other recognition experiences.
You can manage supporter information directly in Screen Pulse or connect data from sources your organization already maintains.
Supported options include:
- CSV files
- Google Sheets
- Microsoft Excel
- Externally hosted CSV files
- Supported fundraising and donor-management integrations
Once connected, the supporter information can be used across multiple recognition experiences without maintaining separate donor lists for every display.
Screen Pulse uses shared supporter data across recognition experiences. Update supporter information at its source, and the change can be reflected wherever that data is being used instead of rebuilding individual donor displays.
For supporter data:
Changes to names, recognition details, giving levels, or other information can flow into the experiences using that data.
For time-based recognition:
Recognition periods can determine when a supporter should appear. When the active period ends, the supporter can automatically stop appearing in the applicable recognition content.
No. Screen Pulse does not require proprietary donor-wall hardware. You can use supported screens and media players you already have or choose new hardware that fits your space, deployment, and budget.
Screen Pulse supports multiple operating systems and player options, making it possible to run donor recognition on anything from an existing screen in a branch to a dedicated digital donor wall.
See supported devices and recommended hardware on the Screen Pulse Digital Signage Players page.
No. Screen Pulse supports both approaches.
Use your existing screens
Add donor and sponsor recognition to playlists alongside schedules, programs, announcements, campaigns, videos, and other content.
Create a dedicated donor display
Use a screen exclusively as a digital donor wall, sponsor display, or other permanent recognition experience when the space calls for it.
Both approaches can be managed through the same Screen Pulse network.
Yes. Screen Pulse provides YMCA-branded templates that can be adapted to an association, campaign, or recognition program.
Brand customization can include:
- Logos and colors
- Photography and imagery
- Recognition messaging
- Giving and sponsorship levels
- Supporter information
The same visual identity can then be carried across donor walls, individual spotlights, sponsor displays, and other recognition experiences, helping maintain consistency across branches and locations.
You do not need to recreate an existing donor or sponsor list one supporter at a time.
If your data is in a spreadsheet:
Import existing supporter information through CSV or use supported spreadsheet sources such as Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel.
If your data is in a fundraising system:
Screen Pulse can review the system and available integration options to determine how the data can be used for recognition.
If you want to manage recognition directly:
Supporter records and recognition details can also be maintained within Screen Pulse.
