Honor Roll of Distinguished Donors
Outstanding support of veterans deserves outstanding recognition. The Foundation wishes to thank those individuals who have made lifetime contributions of $5,000 or more by including them in the Grand Memorial Honor Roll of Distinguished Donors.
Donors who achieve this noble accomplishment are recognized at varying levels of support: Bronze Level; Silver Level; and Gold Level.
Donors achieve Bronze Level recognition for cumulative giving at various tiers ranging from $5,000 – $250,000. Donors with a lifetime giving total of $5,000 achieved during a given year will earn a Star Award Plaque and be recognized on the Grand Memorial Honor Roll of Distinguished Donors Virtual Wall, under the Bronze Level section, during the year in which the award was achieved.
To recognize those who have reached gift totals of $5,000 or more, the Foundation awards donors with a Bronze Star Award Plaque perfect for home or office display. As contribution totals increase, a bronze star is added to the plaque at the following thresholds:
1st Star – $10,000
2nd Star – $25,000
3rd Star – $50,000
4th Star – $100,000
5th Star – $250,000
