Design notes

The tall page gives the brick walk more depth. Six courses run across the middle, with the donor's name carved into a limestone dedication stone in the centre rows. Engraved bricks above and below carry the gift areas, the giving society, the campaign name, the issue date and the credential ID, with blank bricks between them so the walk still reads as a walk. The program, the statement, two signatures and the QR code sit on open paper below. The portrait shape fits a standard frame, a donor binder or a reception wall.

About

Donor Certificate Template, Brick Walk Portrait

A gift to a capital campaign, a scholarship fund or a new wing is often marked twice: once with a named brick or plaque on site, and once with a certificate the donor keeps at home. Development offices issue it to individuals, families, alumni and local businesses, sometimes in honour of another person, and hand it over at a donor evening or post it with the year-end thank-you letter.

Wording on the template“Your gift is now part of what we build together. It opens doors for the people we serve, strengthens our community programs and keeps our work going for the years ahead. Thank you for standing with us. This record stands as a lasting mark of your generosity.”

Post for the recipient to share

This year I gave to a cause close to my heart, and today I received a certificate of appreciation from the team. Giving back to the community that shaped me feels good, and I want to say thank you to everyone who works there every day. If you are looking for a cause to support, I am happy to share more. #Giving #Nonprofit #Community

Printing

Printing it well

Print at actual size

Choose “Actual size” or 100% in the print dialog, not “Fit to page”, so the margins and the QR code keep their size.

Use card, not paper

A matte or silk card of 200–300 gsm (about 80–110 lb cover) feels like an award and does not curl in a frame.

Frame it

A4 fits a standard 21 × 29.7 cm frame; US Letter fits an 8.5 × 11 in frame, or an 11 × 14 in frame with a mat. Hang it upright, as designed.

Mind the edges

Most home printers leave a thin white border. For a design that runs to the edge, use a print shop or your printer’s borderless setting.
