Awaken the Light Advocates - Media Providence Friends School

Become an Advocate for the Awaken the Light Campaign

Ready to amplify the light at MPFS? Become a vital Advocate for the Awaken the Light campaign and turn your enthusiasm into real support for our school community!

How to Get Started:

The first step is simple: create your GiveCampus account by clicking the "Sign Up" button in the top right corner of the campaign page.

Once you’re signed in, the real magic begins. Share the campaign link with your class families, friends, and network. Advocacy is action: it’s inviting others to join you in supporting Media-Providence Friends School. Every share, message, and personal connection is a step toward reaching our goal—and we make it fun and easy!

The Awaken the Light campaign runs from November 5 to 7, 2025, at mpfs.org/light.

Join Our Official Advocate Team!

Our goal is ambitious: reach 125 donations by the end of November 7 to successfully unlock a challenge grant for MPFS!

The Advocate's Mission: To help us achieve this, Advocates use the GiveCampus platform to inspire generosity and connect with their peers. You'll be the personal voice of the campaign, inviting others in your network to join the effort.

We Make It Easy:

You will be provided with ready-to-share content (social graphics, suggested messages, and more).
You'll receive email reminders for when to post (expect 2–3 per day) to keep you on track during the campaign dates.

Consider your own Gift

Tell your Story, Create a Personal Plea

A personal video or message is the most powerful tool you have to inspire others.

How to Create and Upload Your Personal Plea:

Log in to your GiveCampus account.
Visit the campaign page and click the Advocates tab.
Select Create Your Personal Plea.
Upload your video directly on the page. Important: Do not close your browser until you see the confirmation message.

Your video will be reviewed by an admin and will appear publicly on the Advocates tab once approved. A “Watch Video” button will then appear beside your name!

NOTE: If you are uploading a personal plea before the campaign launches on November 5, you'll need to log in with the link in step one, then cut and paste this link into the browser:

Tips for a Great Video:
Keep it brief: 30 to 45 seconds is the sweet spot.
Be relatable: Record selfie-style for a warm, personal tone—no fancy equipment needed. Shoot it horizontally in a quiet spot with light.
Focus on your why: Share why MPFS and the campaign matter to you, then invite others to join you in supporting the school.

Every share, message, and personal touch helps spread the light!

Offer a Match (or Challenge)

Offer a Match or Challenge to ignite giving and amplify your impact!

When you pledge to match gifts (e.g., matching the next $500 in donations) or set a challenge goal (e.g., "I'll give $X when 10 people donate"), you create powerful motivation for your peers to participate.

You can even tailor your match or challenge to a specific group—like your class year, a particular sports team's families, or a circle of friends—to make it fun, competitive, and truly community-driven.

Awaken the Light - What it Means:

“Awaken the Light” is about recognizing the Inner Light already within each child—their curiosity, compassion, and potential—and helping it shine brighter. At MPFS, we nurture what’s already there, inspiring confidence and real change that begins close to home. Every gift helps awaken that light and pass it forward to the next generation.

Peer-to-Peer Sharing

Friends Asking Friends

Donors are significantly more likely to give when the request comes directly from a trusted friend or peer. You have the power to inspire your network to join the MPFS campaign.

Personal Pleas

Your Story Matters

Add your voice and connection to the campaign by sharing a short Personal Plea video. This personal touch is the most effective way to show your commitment and encourage support.
