FOR UNION
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Thank you for this opportunity to propose a donor recognition and engagement system for the Union Memorial Hospital.

We are inspired by your commitment to world-class healthcare that will transform lives through research and patient well-being.

Your philanthropic partners believe in that same vision. They also want to tackle some of the most significant challenges in healthcare, accelerate breakthroughs, and provide exceptional care today while pioneering tomorrow’s cures. Ultimately, you and your donors share the same dream – creating an environment of personalized, holistic, innovative, and renowned care.

Celebrating the philanthropic investment made by your philanthropic partners may be the primary purpose of your new donor wall (what we call a donor engagement center). Still, we know it can do so much more than that. Of course, it will celebrate philanthropy in a beautiful, meaningful, and inclusive manner, but it will also communicate the transformational impact of Union Memorial Hospital and will communicate the integral role that philanthropy plays in accelerating future healthcare breakthroughs.

As a fundraising and stewardship tool, your donor engagement center will help you retain donors, grow philanthropic revenue, engage critical stakeholder groups, and provide you with messages that can migrate across all your communication channels. All this results in the further enhancement of your philanthropic culture.

Thank you for the opportunity to propose on this exciting project. We hope the following information is helpful as you choose your partner in this project. And we sincerely hope you conclude that BrookGlobal is the optimal partner to join you in this mission.

Expertise and compassion

ABOUT

BROOKGLOBAL

For more than 40 years, BrookGlobal has been a family-owned business. The company was born as an architectural signage firm and evolved into crafting donor recognition systems for hospitals and universities in the 1980s.

Twenty years later, we strengthened our commitment to improving philanthropy, and in 2014, we pioneered a paradigm shift to engagement systems that have become game-changers for our partners. These engagement systems are exquisitely beautiful, highly effective, and easily updatable to continue recognizing and inspiring donors.

In creating innovative engagement systems to inspire donors, BrookGlobal takes an evidence-based approach reinforced by deep experience and a broad knowledge base from everyone at #TeamBrook.

Our common denominator? Passion for inspiring philanthropic investment to impact more lives positively.

DISCOVERY

The purpose of the Discovery Phase is to ensure that we understand the strategic objectives and aspirations you have for your department and how this particular project fits into those objectives. This ensures that everything we co-create with you is capable of being a tool to help drive the growth and awareness of the important work your department does.

The Discovery Phase concludes after we’ve drafted two working documents with you – Major Objectives of the Project and What Does Success Look Like? We review and affirm those documents in the next phase – the Strategy Phase. 

STRATEGY

The Strategy Phase is when we take all we learned in the Discovery Phase and develop strategies to ensure your project achieves as many strategic objectives as possible.

In addition, we work with you to confirm your aspirations related to viewer experience, then use this knowledge to create strategies to impact the design of your display. This ensures that the design can optimally communicate your appreciation of your donors now, and remain a relevant, impactful, philanthropic tool for years to come.

DESIGN

The Design Phase is when everything begins to take shape. It is in this phase that we work with you to make the transition from ideas and concepts to actual drawings, illustrations, or documents that become real.

We have enormous experience in orchestrating this process to produce a result that uniquely reflects your aspirations, hopes, and dreams. In addition, we ensure you end up with powerful tools to help drive and sustain growth in your philanthropic program, speak to all audiences, enhance your culture, and provide critical messages you can migrate across all communication channels.

IMPLEMENTATION

The Implementation Phase is exactly what the name implies. It is the phase when the display is built, tested, and installed. We bring our vast construction and engineering experience to this process and can navigate unforeseen challenges or last-minute changes needed.

Our attention to detail and commitment to quality ensure that your display is a long-lasting tool for your department. We have received numerous accolades from hospital and university facility offices for our installers’ professionalism and capabilities. We understand that we are visitors to your facility, and we do everything we can to honor and respect that environment.
