|
Emory Day of Giving (EDOG) is coming up March 30 - 31, 2022, and there are opportunities for Advancement Ambassadors and for student organizations to raise money.
EDOG raises funds that can be applied toward Laney-specific scholarships, fellowships, and awards that directly impact our students and community members.
Be an Advancement Ambassador for Emory’s Day of Giving
Through outreach and communications over a variety of channels (text, email, social, etc.), student, staff, and faculty volunteers called
Advancement Ambassadors
garner excitement and solicit donations.
In 2021, more than 800 volunteers helped generate $180,000, ultimately inspiring 1/3 of EDOG online gifts!
Interested in becoming an EDOG Advancement Ambassador to raise awareness for the Laney cause that is most meaningful to you?
Raise Money for Your Organization
For a second year, student organizations will be showcased on the Emory Day of Giving site. This increased visibility will allow you to market your student organization through student matches and challenges. With our training and toolkits, plus your organization’s members and network, you can raise more support to expand the impact of your student organization. Don’t miss out!
Please join us for an exciting Emory Day of Giving!
