Donor Recognition

KEA highly values our sponsors' support.  As such, we offer several ways of honoring our sponsors, such as naming rights. Naming rights may be awarded for buildings, spaces within buildings, or for external spaces (reception area, lecture rooms, laboratories, office, boats, etc.). Naming rights may also be awarded for events and activities. Donors who choose to fund big parts of our program may have that part of the project named after them, as well. 

Contributors can be assured that their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given, and they will receive appropriate recognition (or confidentiality, if the donor requests anonymity).

Donors who choose not to avail themselves of Naming Rights are invited to choose one of the special sponsorship levels outlined below. Donors will receive appropriate gifts for their donation levels. You can donate in honor of a special occasion or in memory of a beloved one. If you wish, we can send a notice to the recipient of your choice to let them know that you have chosen to honor them with a donation to KEA!
