Common Questions About The Next 100 Years Campaign

Q.
What's the status of The Next 100 Years campaign and the construction projects?
A.
The first milestone of the campaign (North Campus) is complete! We are now in the final phase of the campaign, with construction projects underway on the South Campus. So far we have raised $77 million toward our total goal of $93 million—a tremendous achievement for the entire Poly community!

Q.
Is the Annual Fund part of the campaign? Does my Annual Fund gift "count"?
A.
The Next 100 Years campaign has three components: construction, endowment, and the Annual Fund. All gifts of any size count toward the campaign. See Areas of Support for more information.

Q.
How should I allocate my giving across these different campaign initiatives?
A.
How you support the campaign is a very personal decision. We hope that all members of the Poly community will continue or increase their support of the Annual Fund. In addition, all alumni, parents, and friends of the school will be asked by our campaign committee to consider a gift above and beyond the Annual Fund. This could be a gift to construction or endowment, whichever is more meaningful to you.

Q.
Is it possible for a donor to name a space or fund with his or her gift?
A.
Yes. The development staff will be happy to speak with you about specific naming opportunities. Please contact Director of Development This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Next 100 Years campaign will end December 31, 2012. We expect all construction projects to be completed by the end of that school year.

Q.
Can I make a gift by establishing a charitable remainder trust or some other planned giving vehicle?
A.
Yes, the development staff will be happy to assist you. There are many different options that can help you achieve your financial or estate planning goals while also allowing you to support Poly.
