Cal Poly Fundraising Campaign Tops $100 Million

Cal Poly Pomona has amassed more than $100 million in donations and pledges midway through an ambitious fundraising campaign, university officials announced Wednesday.

The Campaign for Cal Poly Pomona was launched in November 2010 with a goal of raising $150 million for research, scholarships and other campus needs. The first comprehensive fundraising effort of its kind at the school, it began amid a recession that sapped resources from potential donors as well as from state coffers, resulting in steep funding cuts to California’s public colleges and universities.
