Step up and lead the way on Giving Day — become an ambassador! Note: Even if you were an ambassador last year, you will need to register again to be one this year!
Ambassadors are our biggest champions and supporters, rallying their networks, sharing their enthusiasm, and helping build momentum throughout the day.
Last year, ambassadors helped generate over 55 percent of all Giving Day gifts (that’s more than 15,400 gifts!), and this year, we’re aiming even higher – together.
Here’s how to get started:
Ambassador Toolkit
You can have the toolkit sent directly to your mobile device by texting "HokieAmbassador" to 51555 or you can access it directly here:
Ambassador Toolkit
In the toolkit, you will find everything you need to lead the way this Giving Day — from sample social media posts and images to answers to our most frequently asked questions, instructions on how to set up your account, and more. Use the resources in the toolkit, along with your unique ambassador link, to bring us across the finish line!
Giving Day Basics
Date: Feb. 18-19, 2026, noon to noon, ET
Hashtag: #VTGivingDay
As a Giving Day ambassador, you are key to fueling excitement about the day. Ambassadors are asked to:
- Sign up for 2026's Giving Day! Ambassadorships do not carry over from one Giving Day to the next. Please renew your support to join in this year.
- Make a gift on Giving Day and encourage your networks to do the same.
- Spread the word using resources in the toolkit through social media and email. Use your custom URL to track how many gifts you personally bring in from your network.
You+2
