Parent Giving

Learn by Doing was born at Cal Poly and will thrive here, always. This exceptional education approach requires exceptional support.

This is why Cal Poly has such a strong culture of parent giving. Our parent donors lead by example, understanding that the partnership between private and public support is critical to the high level of excellence and innovation that sets the Cal Poly student experience apart.

Gifts by our parent donors enhance all facets of the Cal Poly experience inside and outside the classroom, including scholarships, student health and wellness, Career Services, Athletics, the library and more.

Give to your student’s area of interest and have a positive impact in your student’s life through every step of their journey at Cal Poly.

Donate to the Parent Fund and provide unrestricted support to all Cal Poly undergraduates, wherever it’s needed most and with all students benefiting.
