"Giving Day is more than just a day of generosity—it’s a celebration of community, opportunity, and the transformative power of education. Every gift, no matter the size, helps shape the future of Cal Poly Humboldt students, turning dreams into achievements and potential into progress,” says Stephanie Lane, executive director of Alumni Relations.
Cal Poly Humboldt Giving Day unites Humboldt’s campus community to raise funds vital for students and programs that foster growth and opportunity. Last year, University programs and resources achieved an incredible milestone, raising $325,260 in just one day, with 1,405 donors contributing to 126 different campus clubs, programs, departments, and scholarships.
Explore the Giving Day website to discover various projects from across campus, including the Youth Educational Services (Y.E.S.), Oh SNAP! food pantry, and El Centro Student Graduation, among other impactful initiatives. Donors can also visit the fund directory to make a meaningful gift to a specific department, academic or non-academic program, scholarship, or existing fund of their choice.
On Giving Day, every gift matters. No matter the size, donor support can profoundly impact the lives of Humboldt students and enhance their educational experiences.
This event, held on the first Wednesday of April, commemorates the legacy of Cal Poly Humboldt’s inaugural classes held in April 1914. With invaluable support from the community, the University opened its doors and, more than a century later, continues to offer a transformative educational experience, made possible by generous donors at all levels.
Join in this incredible opportunity to uplift students and programs during the second annual Cal Poly Humboldt Giving Day on April 2. To make a contribution or gather more information, visit giving.humboldt.edu/giving-day.
