Honoring Legacy & Looking Ahead: Blanchard Valley Health Foundation’s New Donor Recognition Display
At PIR, some of our most meaningful work comes from the opportunity to reconnect with long-standing partners – especially when those relationships lead to beautiful, lasting recognition for the people and organizations that help make their mission possible. That’s exactly the case with our recent project for the Blanchard Valley Health Foundation in Findlay, Ohio.
This new display is more than an upgrade—it’s a fresh chapter in a story that began nearly a decade ago. Designed to recognize current donors while allowing space for future additions, the installation replaces their original 2015 MagTech system with a more elegant, space-efficient, and visually engaging Clear Change system.
A Display Built for Now – And for the Future
The foundation came to us looking for something unique, warm, and soothing. Their request? Not overly modern, but far from “grandma’s sofa.” We took that vision and created a donor wall that brings together natural finishes, subtle effects, and dimensional craftsmanship – all while ensuring the display is easy to update as their donor recognition needs evolve.
This new design features our Clear Change system, a standout solution that combines printed film with scratch-resistant acrylic panels mounted over warm-toned laminate. With pleasing choices of laminate finishes, dimensional leaf panels, and layered accent frames, the display projects professionalism and gratitude with just the right tone.
Clear Change System: Why It Matters
Our Clear Change system offers major advantages over traditional donor display methods. With Clear Change, updates are as easy as printing a new film insert – no full reprint or panel swap needed. It’s a sustainable, cost-efficient way to maintain a fresh, organized, and polished donor listing over time, while keeping the design consistent.
Details That Make a Difference
Key features of the display include:
- Freestanding lettering for bold titles
- Dimensional panels, CNC-carved and painted for crisp texture
- Scratch-resistant, non-glare acrylic
- Silver standoffs for a clean, refined look
- Biographical highlights with photography that honor key contributors
The foundation’s request for a design that didn’t feel sterile or overly corporate was central to the project. We met that challenge with materials and textures that add depth and warmth, while still keeping a sleek profile within the space available.
