Environmental Graphic Design & Implementation
The products used to talk to and about donors should be engaging and entice all audiences to enjoy them. Environmental graphics should represent the importance the organization places on philanthropy and provide meaningful insight into the mission and character of the organization. Heurista guides clients through a proven process of discovery to clarify project goals and establish the budget and internal and external resources available to create and maintain any product that is purchased.
Heurista is known for serving as an advocate for the needs of the fundraiser while leading a creative dialog with all stakeholders. Our expert recommendations are delivered in language that other participants, such as the marketing team or facilities management, will understand. We’re able to connect form and function in order to design a display that invites others to share in the support of the organization. Each project reflects the unique character of the client’s brand and culture. We bring to the table both the best of traditional donor recognition and insight into the lastest trends.
Our designers specialize in creating for architectural environments. Heurista’s projects often include large format print and digital components. We’re familiar with traditional materials and methods as well as the most innovative design technologies. Most importantly, we’re able to provide counsel based on real-world experience, helping our clients understand how the products will function over time.

A tour of the warehouse led to comprehensive philanthropic placemaking that transformed the facility into a memorable, branded experience for the thousands of volunteers, sponsors, donors, and staff who work in the space. Changes in the physical space led to brand updates that can now be seen online, in print, and on every van that leaves the warehouse.

Sheltering Arms Institute
Richmond, VA
”When Heurista first suggested a hanging sculpture instead of a traditional donor wall, we were a little skeptical. But, the design was well coordinated with our brand and supported our plan to list every donor to the campaign, Now, our donor recognition is the talk of RVA! We've had many people ask how they can support the Sheltering Arms Institute after seeing the sculpture.”
— Lisa B. Resch, Director of Donor Relations, Sheltering Arms Foundation -
