Yes. Because each Commit to Witt is different, you'll need to sign up again this year even if you've been an advocate in previous day of giving. Please use the sign-up form on this year's Commit to Witt page at wittenberg.edu/commit2witt.

We encourage you to sign up early to make sure you have access to all of the advocate resources, but you can sign up at any point before Commit to Witt ends at midnight on March 19.

You can see who has made a gift by logging in to the advocate account.

Sorry, we aren't able to attribute gifts not made through an advocate account to an advocate link.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to track how many other advocates have signed up using your link.

Please email the Commit to Witt Advocate Team at wittfund@wittenberg.edu with any additional questions.
