Peer-to-peer advocacy is the engine of Brown's annual giving program. By serving as an annual giving volunteer, you amplify the impact of your philanthropic investment by asking your friends, classmates, fellow alumni, students, and/or family to join you in supporting annual, current-use giving to the University.

For alumni 1 – 14 years out from graduation.
