Why We Need YOU

Alumni, family, and donors are St. Olaf’s greatest Advocates. Your word is the strongest case for giving back to St. Olaf College, and your involvement will ensure a successful campaign. Help us share this important effort to support financial aid for current and future Oles by sharing with your Ole network.

💌  Share, Share, Share

• Use the built-in sharing buttons at the top of the page to send to your Ole network.
• Look for St. Olaf’s posts on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn - like, comment, and reshare!
• Share with your Ole network: Social, Text Message, Email, Phone Call, Carrier Pigeon… The sky’s the limit! Visit the Giving Days Volunteer site for message examples and campaign downloads.

✔️  Become an Advocate: Create an Account (or if you already have one, log in)

• Click 'Log In' at the top of the page. Create an account from there!

⭐️  Consider Your Own Gift

• Lead by example and make your own gift early. It's much easier to ask your friends and family to join you in making a gift when you’ve already done it yourself!

Take your Advocate work to the next level:

🎥  Tell Your Story

• Create a personal video and post it to the campaign page! Your story makes the best case for support.
• Film a quick video in which you tell your community why you’re excited about the campaign, and why others should get involved. Keep it quick, casual, and fun!

🤝  Offer a Match (or Challenge)

• Leverage your gift and encourage others to give via a match or challenge. 
• Consider aligning your match or challenge with your class year, affiliation, or to a list of your friends (by email address) to raise the stakes.
• If you are interested in offering a match or challenge, contact the St. Olaf Fund at fund@stolaf.edu or 800-733-6523.
