Giving Day Volunteer

How much can we really do in one day?

A lot! And with your help, we can do even more.

By encouraging other Broncos to sign up to fundraise on behalf of a University fund, we can extend our reach and create the momentum we need for a successful day. Peer outreach is a crucial and powerful component of giving day, and anyone can do it

But how?

Our peer-to-peer fundraising tool is an easy and secure way to raise funds for WMU. With a personalized fundraising page, you can let your Bronco network know what you’re supporting on giving day, and ask them to give as well.

1. Start at WMU Alumni's Fundraising page
2. Select CREATE A PAGE
3. Follow the instructions for customizing your page
4. Search for the college, unit, or specific fund you want to support

Create a page

How do I choose a fund?

With thousands of funds and areas of the University to support, the possibilities are endless. You can fundraise for the college or program where you received your degree, the sports team that you love most, or a number of other initiatives across the University. The arts, scholarships, funds that provide resources to students in need…the choice is yours. 

Don't see your fund? Email Jill Prior at jill.prior@wmich.edu

Spread the word!

You know your network of Bronco friends and family better than anyone else. Whether you email, call, text, or reach out on social media, now is the time to let them know you’re fundraising for WMU on giving day, and they can do it too! Encourage them to get involved. Don’t know what to say? Stay positive and let them know you’re excited to be a part of WMU Giving Day. 

On WMU Giving Day, the more Broncos who come together to support WMU, the bigger impact we can make. It’s not just about supporting students, it’s about making our University stronger now and for generations to come.

Show and share your love for WMU on Giving Day by getting involved! Sign up to fundraise for the cause at WMU you love most, make a gift, and ask your family and friends to get involved too!

Finally, make a gift!

On Wednesday, April 17, make your gift through your fundraising page or at WMUalumni.org/givingday. Be sure to let your friends and family know that you’ve made a gift, and share your fundraising page so they can give, too!

Thank you for being a part of WMU Giving Day.

Across campus, the community, and the world, Broncos will come together to do something big for WMU. We can’t wait to celebrate the day with you. 🤎💛

Even if you are involved with Western Michigan University in other ways, your gift of any size improves WMU’s alumni participation rate. A high participation rate improves WMU’s rankings and keeps your degree strong.
