Donor recognition gifts

Heirloom-quality donor recognition gifts for the supporters who give the most to your mission. Each one is designed from scratch, exclusive to your organization, and handcrafted in Britain. We help advancement and stewardship teams send something a donor is proud to carry as they travel the world.

For donor relations, advancement and stewardship officers

Good stewardship is how a donor stays close

You spend the year building relationships with the people who fund your mission. A recognition gift is part of how you keep them committed, so it has to feel personal and deserved. Every piece is exclusive to your organization and never sold to anyone else.

For Lurie Children's Hospital, the Shedd Aquarium, Marquette University and the University of Notre Dame, Emma has woven the mission through each design. A benefactor uses the gift, remembers the impact they made, and carries your story with them wherever they go.

How it works

From your mission to a finished gift

You talk with Emma, our designer and co-founder, about your donor tiers, your stewardship calendar, and the story only your organization can tell.
Emma weaves your mission through the design and makes samples for your approval before anything goes into production.
Emma inspects each finished gift, then hand-wraps it in a box branded for your organization. Inside, your message of thanks is printed on a notecard, with the provenance of the gift on the reverse.

"You took us to the moon and back by touching our heirloom-quality gifts with the same love and care we have for our benefactors. You helped us create special memories so they can always remember their extraordinary impact on the Notre Dame family. From the bottom of our hearts, it has been a pleasure working with you. Until next time!"
