Believe in the G Advocate Toolkit

During UNCG’s annual day of giving, anyone can get involved! All you need is Spartan spirit and a few minutes to share the word with your personal and professional networks.

Below you’ll find sample copy for social media posts or texts, as well as images made to help make your Believe in the G efforts as easy as possible. But these are just starting points: feel free to make them your own. The more personal you get, the better your chance of convincing others to join this amazing day of giving.

And if you haven’t already, make sure you sign up to be an official Advocate – so you can track your progress throughout the day and even upload your own personal plea videos.

Questions? Contact the Annual Giving team at annual_giving@uncg.edu or 336-334-9817.
