- Minimum donation thresholds
- Recognition: $500 is the minimum donation threshold, which can be a one-time donation or a cumulative donation since 2012. We would like to emphasize our gratitude towards all donors, regardless of their donation size. However, managing donation recognition incurs labor costs, so having a threshold in place is economically responsible, especially for honoring small donations. This is standard practice among even larger organizations collecting donations, as outlined on our
organizational donation considerations
page. - Links and company logo: $1,000 is the minimum donation threshold for donors to have a link to their website on their recognition card.
