Welcome to the online home of the Cal Poly Foundation, a private, nonprofit corporation, led by Cal Poly alumni and friends and incorporated for the purpose of generating private support that will play a crucial role in building and maintaining the special polytechnic, high-quality, “learn-by-doing” education model of Cal Poly.

The foundation was organized in March 2006 to build on the success of the university's record-breaking Centennial Campaign, which raised $264.4 million by its close at the end of 2004.  

In addition to leading efforts to raise additional private support for the university, the foundation board will also manage the University’s $165 million endowment and other private gifts.
