Be a Graduate Student Give Day Ambassador!

Thank you for supporting UC Davis Give Day! In this toolkit you will find some images from UC Davis and UC Davis Health you can use in your own social media posts.

Create a post

To create any post, just tell a brief story that conveys why you support what you support at UC Davis and include a link to the challenge or the page you want people to support. Tell people very briefly the impact they will have if they support the program and how their gift will make a difference. Consider telling a brief personal story how the program impacted you, and how you think it will make a difference for others.

Social media cover images

Cover images for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn have been formatted specifically to fit the dimension of each service’s cover image.  Do not use interchangeably: using a graphic formatted for one service as the cover image on an alternate service will have an undesirable outcome.

Social media graphic posts

Promote giving areas or challenge gifts by sharing custom Give Day graphics featuring your own photographs. Templates have been created as Photoshop files and Canva templates:

• Square social media graphic - 1080 x 1080px
• Horizontal social media graphic - 1920 x 1080px
