Is the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, Inc. a gift giving organization from which one can ask for grants?
This is partially true. The CPPF provides post award administration of externally funded activities. It provides accounting and administrative reporting services for the University and acts as its fiscal agent. Assistance on research and grant proposals is available through the University’s office of Research and Sponsored Programs in Academic Affairs. Annually, the Foundation contributes funds, deemed by the Board of Directors to be surplus, back to the University. The University determines the use of those excess funds, not the Foundation.
