Volunteering Opportunities
Emory volunteers are building momentum by advocating for urgent priorities and expanding what’s possible.
Advancement Volunteers are students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends who want to fundraise for Emory causes they love. Your personal outreach is one of the most effective fundraising methods, making you one of the most important people in guiding others through the decision to give.
You Tell The Emory Story
When you share your Emory experience and why you give back to our community, your voice inspires others to join. As an Advancement Volunteer, you can support specific causes and programs year-round through crowdfunding projects and Emory Day of Giving. You’ll have access to fundraising tools and expert staff support, making it as easy as possible to raise funds for the Emory area most important to you. Join our email list to receive updates about the program.
Below please find a brief synopsis of each of the fundraising pathways available to you through the Advancement Volunteer Network.
Are you looking for a one-day volunteer opportunity?
Emory Day of Giving is an annual event that brings the Emory community together to raise money for a variety of areas across the university. Each year, hundreds of fundraising volunteers help generate more than $1 million. As a volunteer, you can tap into your competitive side with challenges, dollar-for-dollar matches, and other fun activities that make this a powerful way to support what matters most to you.
We’ll provide you with a toolkit that includes sample messages and graphics, making it even easier for you to spread the word and rally your friends.
Crowdfunding and Fundraising Opportunities
Want to support a specific cause?
You can do just that with Emory’s easy-to-use crowdfunding platform. Momentum does the work for you by automating thank-you emails and tax receipts. Plus, it has tools to help you amplify your outreach through social media. The best part—projects receive 100 percent of all gifts. No fees.
Are you short on time but big on giving back?
We have an easy way to fundraise that does not require a huge time commitment on your end. You tell us your preferred passion area or cause at Emory, and we’ll create a custom online donation form for you. You can take that form and share it on social media, text it to friends, or email it to your network.
Have a passion for health care and medical research?
Raise funds for your favorite Emory Healthcare and Winship causes using a personal do-it-yourself Fundraising page via TeamRaiser. This opportunity is best for individuals who will rely on personal outreach to raise money for select Emory Healthcare and Winship funds.
