Pursuant to Barnert’s Gift Acceptance Policy:
A donor (or donors) who meets the appropriate minimum gift requirement may name an area of Barnert Temple for twenty-five (25) years. At the conclusion of this time, a previously named designee(s) may rededicate the named space or renew the plaque in return for a gift equal to the lesser of the then-current minimum gift requirement or the cost for the replacement, substantial renovation, or augmentation of the named space.
