Ambassadors help make PilotsGive a success by sharing why they love UP with their networks and promoting the areas of campus they are most passionate about. 

What is a PilotsGive?

Two days of giving and Pilot pride on March 22-23. PilotsGive is the most important fundraising event of the year for UP students and programs.

Why be an Ambassador?

• It’s fun! You will receive a PilotsGive t-shirt and a special ambassador pin, and you can win great prizes!
• It’s easy! We will give you all the tools you need including social graphics and pre-written message. Plus, we’ll send you tips and reminders about important dates and special PilotsGive promotions like matching gifts. If you have questions along the way, we are here to help!
• It’s impactful! Sharing why you love UP helps increase the funding we have for scholarships, programs, and more — and it helps recruit future students. You are making the Pilot community stronger!

There are many ways to be an Ambassador. Choose the ones that work best for you.

• Share on social media. Tell friends what you love about UP. If you give, include why! Link to up.edu/pilotsgive and encourage others to join you! See the Ambassador toolkit for tips.
• Email, text or call your friends. Let them know about PilotsGive and the PilotsGive competitions. Ask them to help their favorite program, residence hall, or class year win a competition!
• Ask for donations: Gifts of all sizes make a difference for the programs that are meaningful to you. Plus, your favorite school, center, team, or student activity has a chance to win bonus funds when they hit participation goals!
• Host an event: Want to go big? Meet up with friends in your UP network and celebrate being a Pilot! PilotsGive is a great reason to for your chapter, affinity group (such as advisory boards or alumni from a particular club, team, or residence hall), or friends to catch up. Let us know about your event. We can help promote it, and we’ll send you swag for the whole group!
