Anyone can be a Giving Day ambassador. It’s the perfect role if you want to do a little extra to show your support for UWaterloo this Giving Day.
What’s involved? Ambassadors use social media, email and word of mouth to tell people about Giving Day — we’ve made it easy with sample messages in the toolkit below. If you like, you can add a personal spin and make them your own.
Your efforts to spread awareness for Giving Day can make a huge impact on teaching, learning and research at UWaterloo.
Thank you for your support!
