Naming buildings

Sometimes, when someone donates a large sum of money to an organization, her name is placed on the side of a building.

Other times, a building will be named after a long-time employee or life-long volunteer.

It’s that second occasion that’s more compelling.

How can you bring your whole self into service? To contribute with such excellence that one day, a board of directors would vote to name a building after you?

What if we were able to act as if?

What would it take to bring that level of generosity to what we do?

Not to aim for a naming honor, but to give at that level.

What would it take, and what if more of us were to choose that path?
