DONOR RECOGNITION POLICY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to govern the recognition of donors and donations for park facilities currently owned
or acquired by the City of Fayetteville. This policy takes precedence over any previous policies and guidelines which
may have governed the naming of these facilities.
POLICY
To support the development of key capital facilities in Fayetteville Parks, seeking outside funding is essential,
especially in times of limited public resources. Clear boundaries and criteria are necessary to ensure fair and
appropriate recognition of significant facility donations.
This policy establishes guidelines for recognizing donations within parks and along trails. All donor recognition
signs and plaques must be integrated into the facility’s design and align with the park’s aesthetic values.
Donor recognition in parks is based on the type of facility donated. On trails, recognition is limited to trailheads
unless incorporated into an educational or artistic feature. In such cases, recognition signs must remain a
secondary element within the educational or artistic display.
Recognition for each donation will be determined pursuant to the Donor Recognition Policy. Any exceptions to this
policy must be approved by City Council. A Naming of facilities donated must meet the Naming Park Facilities
Operational Policy unless accepted under City Council resolution. The naming proposal will be presented to the
Parks, Natural Resources and Cultural Affairs Advisory Board for their recommendation to City Council. City Council
has final approval of the park facility name, including the right to approve a different name. The option for naming
facilities is only permitted under the Park Facility Diamond, Platinum, Gold and Silver categories. Minor items such
as trash receptacles and flower beds cannot be named.
Donor recognition requires a minimum donation $25,000 or 50% of the cost of an amenity valued over $50,000.
Recognition signage may be displayed for the useful life of the amenity. When the Director determines the
amenity has outlived its useful like and needs replacement; donor recognition will be removed.
Amenities funded through multiple donations may be recognized via a donor wall displaying names of all donors.
The donor wall shall be designed in accordance with the general park aesthetic. Individual donor names shall be no
larger than 4” tall.
Donations for 100% of the cost of an amenity valued under $150,000 may be recognized in the form of a small
plaque no larger than 8” x 16”.
Recognition signage excluding naming a park or facility, for donations up to $500,000 may be approved by the
Director.
Donations over $500,000 are eligible for naming park facilities and shall be approved by the Parks, Natural
Resources and Cultural Affairs Advisory Board and City Council per the Naming Park Facilities Policy.
Recognition signage shall be designed in accordance with the general park aesthetic, shall not contain corporate
colors or fonts. Signage may include a corporate name, slogan, mark, or tagline.

being designed or constructed.
