We believe that every student has the potential to be a leader, however they shouldn’t have to choose between adding leadership skills to their resume and being able to afford college. Donations to the center can help create and maintain leadership certificates and facilitations (including facility spaces), provide scholarships and assistantships for undergraduate and graduate students, and assist with sponsoring events. 

There are a variety of ways you can donate to Cal Poly's Center for Leadership and support student leadership opportunities on campus. Here are some of our current fundraising priorities and ways you can support those.
