Submit a Project Idea!

Now Accepting Applications for our Fall Crowdfunding campaign


Fill out this application to express interest in launching a Crowdfunding campaign. The purpose of a Crowdfunding campaign is to assist Cal Poly-affiliated organizations, programs, and departments by providing a platform for them to raise money for events and expenses, among other financial burdens. To qualify, projects must be sponsored by a Cal Poly department and/or organization and approved and sponsored by a faculty member or advisor. 


This fall, we will be highlighting projects from organizations that focus on supporting students' basic needs or general well-being across campus. We are looking to highlight projects that create a positive impact for our student body, inside or outside of the classroom. Even if this doesn't sound like your organization, we encourage you to apply! Crowdfunding projects are hosted year-round and we will work with you to launch a successful project.


Important Dates to Consider:

  • Application deadline: August 31
  • Expected Campaign Launch: November 1


Student-run clubs, mark your calendars! Applications for the Spring Crowdfunding campaign will be considered in early 2024, so stay tuned. Poly Gives will be happening during Open House weekend April 11th -13th, and will be an amazing opportunity for your crowdfunding project to get the support it needs.
