Choose the SMCM fund or cause you want to support and register as a Fund Rep. More than one Fund Rep can work together for the same fund.

Become a Fund Rep

We’ll provide training, campaign resources and help developing your strategy. Use this time to get everything ready for the 32-hour campaign.

• Identify the people and networks you want to reach.
• Recruit others who can help amplify your message.
• Draft emails, texts and social media posts in advance.
• Plan coordinated outreach, such as a phone-a-thon or team, department or group campaign.
• Let supporters know Giving Tuesday is coming and ask them to be ready to give and share.

Your Giving Hub will not be live for donations until the campaign begins, so use this time to prepare rather than sharing your donation link.

The 32-hour campaign begins at 4 p.m. on Monday, November 30 and runs through midnight on Tuesday, December 1.

Once your Giving Hub is live, share your donation link widely, rally your supporters and encourage them to pass it along to their own networks. You’ll be able to follow your fund’s progress throughout the campaign.

• Fund Reps must register by Monday, November 9.
• Faculty, staff, students, alumni and other supporters of SMCM are invited to participate. Members of the Advancement team are not eligible to serve as Fund Reps.
• Fund Reps must represent an official SMCM team, academic department, club, scholarship or other Foundation fund.
• Multiple Fund Reps may work together for the same fund.

• Athletics and academic departments may be eligible for alumni contact lists to support their outreach. This is one reason these groups compete in separate Alumni Council Challenge categories.
• Alumni contact information will only be provided to a faculty or staff member associated with the fund. Students, alumni and other supporters may still serve as Fund Reps, but they will not receive alumni contact information.
• Faculty and staff Fund Reps in Athletics and Academics will receive a data-use agreement after signing up. The agreement must be signed and returned before any alumni contact list is released.
• Alumni information may only be used for the Giving Tuesday outreach outlined in the agreement and must be handled according to its terms.
• Violations of the agreement may put the group’s eligibility to participate in future Giving Tuesday campaigns at risk.

• Only gifts made during the official 32-hour Giving Tuesday campaign count toward the Alumni Council Challenge.
• A gift of at least $10 to a fund counts as one donor for that fund in the Challenge.
• Each person can count once for each fund they support, regardless of how many times they give to that fund.
• Donors may support multiple funds and count once toward each.
• Donor information must accurately identify the person making the gift. Duplicate, fictitious or otherwise ineligible donor records may be removed from Challenge totals.
