Giving Advocates

When you become a Haverford Giving Advocate, you join a committed network of alumni, parents, and friends to help spread the word about why supporting Haverford is so important.

Giving Advocates are provided the tools and training they need to encourage their peers to support Haverford, thank them for their generosity, and foster an active connection with today’s thriving Haverford community.

Whether your primary connection to Haverford is with your class, an affinity group, or as parents, there is a Giving Advocate role for you.

Any member of the Haverford community can be a Giving Advocate.

Giving Advocates:

  • Lead by example by making their own gift or pledge in the fall
  • Ask for annual gifts through their class and/or affinity networks (5-10 assignments/year)
  • Thank donors for their generosity
  • Other assignments based on volunteer interest and capacity
  • Get Haverford swag
  • Volunteer Interest Form
  • Volunteer Confidentiality Agreement

Giving Advocates Types

  • Affinity

    Check out Haverford’s active Affinity Groups and let us know if you’d like to support outreach efforts by completing the Volunteer Interest Form.

  • Class

    You don’t have to be in a reunion year to be an advocate! Class Giving Advocates are leaders within their class who lead by making Haverford a philanthropic priority every year and encourage their classmates (and near-classmates) to do the same. Tell us you’re interested by by completing the Volunteer Interest Form.

  • Reunion

    Reunion Giving Chairs and Advocates partner with College staff to set Reunion fundraising goals, develop a solicitation plan, and ask their peers to support the Class Gift and meet Reunion Challenges. For more information or to sign up, visit your Reunion Class page.

  • Young Alumni

    Alumni in the first decade since graduation are encouraged to contact zmoser [at] haverford.edu (subject: Young%20Alumni%20Giving%20Advocate) (Zach Moser), Associate Director of Annual Giving, to learn more about becoming a Young Alumni Giving Advocate.
