Advocate

Your help as a volunteer will make a crucial difference for the next generation of GW students through the university’s annual Giving Day.

GW Giving Day is a 24-hour fundraising campaign designed to increase philanthropic support for the university. What makes giving days successful at universities and organizations across the country is the hard work of volunteers. Without your help, giving days would not be possible.

Giving Day Advocates - Get Rewarded with GW Swag!

Our Giving Day Advocates are crucial to the success of GW Giving Day and we want to recognize you for your hard work. Following Giving Day, our team will send you a prize based on how many alumni, family, and friends support Giving Day through your personalized GiveCampus Giving Link.
