Outreach for June Challenge

Join us for an Action Session

Join your fellow volunteers and the Annual Giving staff on Tuesday, June 10 from 5:15-6:00 p.m. EST to create an action plan for your end-of-fiscal-year fundraising efforts. We’ll cover the June Challenge details, and you’ll have a chance to discuss outreach strategy with volunteers from a range of class years.

Register here for June 10

Use the Hub

• Guidance for getting started with peer-to-peer outreach
• Volunteer Portal how-to videos
• Your class’ giving participation status
• Middlebury’s Approach to National Events (in case you get questions!)

Use the Volunteer Portal

• Grab email templates for June Challenge outreach
• Find your classmate assignments—and add some unassigned classmates (now is the time to reach out to anyone and everyone, if that’s your style!)
• Send personalized emails to those who haven’t yet given (and thank yous to those who have!)
• Get custom lists and custom support by checking in with your staff liaison.

Ask questions, if you’ve got ‘em!

Please feel free to email or call your staff liaison with questions anytime about how to make the most of your outreach. 

For GiveCampus help, email or call Esther Palmer.

If you need a general introduction to using GiveCampus, please check out our videos on the Volunteer Portal Intro page.

YES! You can stack challenges and matches!
