CASE STUDY
At the University of North Dakota’s Nistler College of Business, Advent was uniquely equipped to help engage their donors in the early stages of the process. We helped develop a donor hierarchy by identifying sellable spaces and creating tiered opportunities. We audited the college’s facilities to uncover naming possibilities, such as classrooms, auditoriums, atriums, and hallways. From there, we designed a structured donor hierarchy, offering different levels of naming rights based on gift amounts, from under $250,000 to multimillion-dollar contributions. In addition to mapping out these opportunities, we created a range of signage and recognition installations, helping the college present compelling options to potential donors while aligning larger gifts with unique storytelling opportunities to honor donors’ legacies in meaningful ways.
