Ambassador Tips & Tricks

Sign up to be an ambassador for this year's Giving Tuesday at uc.edu/givingtuesday. This is required for both past and new ambassadors in order to access your personal referral link.

Familiarize yourself with the Giving Tuesday website and get your personal referral link from the Ambassador Dashboard. Your personal referral link is the only way your gifts and your network's gifts are tracked and prizes are awarded.

The ambassador with the most gifts will earn a $1,000 donation to the UC fund of their choice. Ambassadors with the second and third most gifts will earn $500 and $250 donations to the UC fund of their choice respectively.

Follow the UC, UC Alumni Association and UC Foundation social media accounts. It's easy to like and share posts made by the accounts—just don't forget to include your personal referral link, use #GiveWithHeartUC and tag @uofcincyalumni in every post. Find a complete list below by clicking the Social Accounts to Follow dropdown.
