POLY GIVES · Cal Poly's Day of Giving
Join us March 4 · Cal Poly's Day of Giving!

March 4 is Poly Gives, Cal Poly's Day of Giving - the day when our amazing alumni, parents and friends give back to the Cal Poly they love, and our incredible students show their appreciation for the thousands of generous donors, faculty and staff who help make Learn by Doing possible.


Taking the form of personalized thank you videos and messages sent from students to donors, faculty and staff, our students take great pride in acknowledging those who have made, and continue to make, a lasting impact in their lives.
