Donor Recognition

European Friends of The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem are honoured to recognize the dedicated philanthropic efforts of European visionaries, families, foundations and corporations whose support continues to benefit the University and the State of Israel.

Donors to European Associations of the Hebrew University have their deeply valued gifts recognized in a variety of ways on Hebrew University’s majestic Mount Scopus campus in Jerusalem.

EFHU would be honoured to schedule a dedication ceremony in accordance with the donor’s wishes, although most new inscriptions are dedicated during the annual International Board of Governors Meeting in June.

Physical Facilities
	Plaques for endowed physical facilities are almost always located on, near, or in the vicinity of the facility that has been named. The size, location and style of the plaque depend upon the facility itself. A plaque for the donation of a garden might be a large engraved stone, while donor recognition for an entire building could take the form of the donor’s name engraved on the outside wall of the building. Plaques for lectures halls and rooms are usually placed in the corridor outside the facility.
