Giving
How Can You Help?
There are several ways you and your company can play a valuable role in educating the next generation of fire protection engineers.
A Direct Financial/Cash Contribution
This type of donation is most useful during the planning and implementation stages because it allows the University to use the resources where most needed. You may go directly to Cal Poly Giving to make a contribution to FPE.
Establishing an Endowment
Provides perpetual support for the fire protection engineering programs. Minimum endowment gifts of $50,000 are encouraged for this program.
For Some Individuals a Planned Gift
Includes life-income opportunities and other financial planning arrangements for both the donor and the University, is an easy way to make a big impact long into the future. Representatives from Cal Poly's University Advancement are available to discuss tax and other advantages for making a planned gift.
In-kind Donations of Equipment
To support the fire protection engineering programs, Cal Poly will create an FPE laboratory. Equipment and supplies are needed to adequately furnish this facility.
