Be An 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.

How to Volunteer for Giving Day

You can register to be a Giving Day Advocate to promote awareness of GW Giving Day and the powerful effects of philanthropy on the everyday lives of our students. By becoming an advocate and encouraging others to make a gift, you are amplifying your impact and improving the lives of GW students for years to come. 

 

Complete your training

After registering, you will be invited to attend a training session on March 20 at 12:00 pm (ET) (for new advocates) and March 22 at 12:00 pm (ET) (for seasoned advocates) via Zoom. If you missed our live training don't worry. You can access the Giving Day Advocate training on-line shortly. All advocates must complete at least one of the training sessions. If you have any questions, please email [email protected].

 

Use the Advocate Toolkit

Check out the Advocate Toolkit, which has everything you need to be successful. This has email and social media templates, information on how to sign up for your profile on GiveCampus, and more.

 

Make Your Gift and Share Your Story

Make a gift online on Giving Day and encourage other GW Revs to join you! Your volunteer toolkit will have sample emails and social media posts to help you get the word out as well as other ways to expand your impact.

 

Help Before Giving Day

Keep an eye out for quick ways you can help leading up to Giving Day.

Your volunteer manager may need your help emailing a few alumni about Giving Day or posting on social media, which only take a few minutes of your time. Your volunteer manager will make sure you have all the tools you need to be successful.
