Have More Time? Challenge others to give!

Some advocates choose to deepen their impact by making a gift that encourages others to participate and making personal outreach to others to make a gift.

You can leverage your own gift as a match — giving a number of dollars for every dollar or donor that the campaign receives up to your specified maximum gift amount — or as a challenge — giving a gift if the campaign receives a certain number of donors or dollars. Matches and challenges can be restricted to only gifts to specified funds, donors with a specific affiliation or class year, or even a smaller group of your friends!

Personal outreach to others to invite their participation is one of the most effective ways to inspire giving. We’ve provided some sample language below for texts, emails and even talking points for phone calls!
