Advocate Responsibilities
As an Advocate, you help to create some excitement about Bona Giving Day through social media, email, text, and encourage your friends to donate. We urge you to offer your gift as a match or challenge to help inspire your network to give. Following Bona Giving Day, we ask that you thank those who participated via email and social media.
Become an Advocate
St. Bonaventure University is happy to continue our partnership with GiveCampus as our social fundraising platform for Bona Giving Day!
We ask that Advocates create an account through GiveCampus. This is the only way we can effectively track the impact of your outreach efforts, which will be displayed on our page. Creating an account will allow you to seamlessly share messaging via social media.
Getting Started
✔ Step 1: Sign Up
Go to givecampus.com and click on ‘Sign Up’ in the top right corner of the page. Create an account and watch for an email from GiveCampus. (Be sure to check your junk mail.) If you already have an account, please move on to step 3.
When searching for schools or campaigns we are listed as “St. Bonaventure University” (not “Saint”). Please do not use other versions/spellings, such as “Saint” or omit the period, when creating your profile or you will not be connected with us.
✔ Step 2: Create an Account
Create an account by linking to your Facebook account or using your personal email. Linking to your Facebook account is easy and if you are already logged into Facebook, you won’t need an additional password to log into your GiveCampus account. If you use your email address, be sure to check for a confirmation email message once you have completed the sign-up process.
✔ Step 3: Become an Advocate and Consider Your Own Gift
Now that you’ve logged into GiveCampus, you can become and advocate, make a gift, and create a matching gift or challenge.
💌 Share, share, and share some more!
The built-in sharing buttons on the campaign page generate a link that is unique to you. If you share while you are logged in, we can track it and celebrate your impact!
Share via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, email, text message, phone call, carrier pigeon… The sky is the limit!
🎥 Tell Your Story
Create a personal plea and post it to the campaign page!
Film a quick video in which you tell your community why you support The Bonaventure Fund, and why others should get involved with #BonaGivingDay. Keep it quick, casual, and fun!
