What does it mean to be an Ambassador?
Ambassadors, you help to spread the word about Birds Give Back and show your #RedbirdPride in Illinois State University! You are key in helping your favorite departments and programs to meet their goals on giving day - in order to have more impact inside and outside the classroom!
Follow these steps for maximum impact!
1. Register
Register to be an Ambassador using the form above at top of this page. You will receive an email right away (check your junk mail folder if you don't see it.) with your own personal URL to share with others when encouraging them to give. When others give a gift after clicking your personal URL, those gifts will be tracked and show how much you have helped to raise for your favorite ISU programs and areas on campus!
2. Ready your Redbirds
Before the big day on February 27, compile a list of your Redbird friends, family and colleagues. Check your social media, phone and email contacts. Create a list and share our Birds Give Back video. Start to let your network know how important their donations are and the impact they will make.
3. Reinforce your message
During Birds Give Back on February 27, post on social media throughout the day. Reach out personally to your Redbird network. Call, email, and/or text your network to ask them to make their gift for their favorite areas of campus. Share on your social media pages and ask people to help you meet your goal.
4. Recognize
Thank your network for giving! As challenges are met and the day winds down, be sure to add posts of gratitude and personally reach out to your network to thank them for showing up in a BIG way!
