Donor Tree
The Tree of Life is a beautiful tribute to an honored donor, friend or loved one. The Tree of Life is comprised of a number of leaves and stones which constitute the “platforms” for the recognition of gifts. Donations are accumulative and tax deductible. An individual’s donations are monitored, and a leaf is added when their gift level is met. Names are silk screened on a leaf and placed on the tree in the following gift categories:
$ 1,000 – $ 4,999 Bronze Leaf
$ 5,000 – $ 9,999 Silver Leaf
$10,000 – $24,999 Gold Leaf
At the base of the tree are foundation stones in the following gift categories.
$25,000 – $ 99,999 Bronze Stone
$100,000 – $ 249,999 Silver Stone
