The Caltech Fund
GET INVOLVED
There are many ways to support the Caltech Fund, including leadership-level gifts via the Caltech Fund Catalysts program, giving as proud Techer alumni, or giving because you are a parent, student, or celebrating a reunion year. Find your group below.
Your Giving Makes a Difference
Gifts to the Caltech Fund provide the Institute with immediate, flexible, and unrestricted funds, giving administrators the ability to maintain Caltech's position as a leader in the advancement of science, engineering, and technology. The Caltech Fund supports the Institute and its dedicated students, faculty, and researchers via generous donations from alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff, and other friends.
As a Caltech Fund donor, you provide the Institute's leaders with the latitude to:
- Fund undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships that make it possible for outstanding students to dedicate themselves fully to their academic passions, regardless of their financial circumstances.
- Support students beyond the classroom, including extracurricular programs and clubs, health and wellness services, and research and internship opportunities.
- Provide financial resources that enhance Caltech's competitive edge in retaining outstanding students and faculty and recruiting others who bring novel expertise and perspectives, enabling innovators to pursue promising, as-yet-unproven ideas that have the potential to change the world.

A lot of good things have happened to me because of my fellowship to Caltech, so I wanted to make sure that other people had the same advantages. The reason I received a fellowship was because other people donated money to the Institute, so for me it’s a 'pay it back' kind of thing. It enables a lot of really important scientific activity, research, and learning. I’m always curious to see how Caltech is shaping the future in science and engineering.

Caltech was the best choice for our children. Our daughter and son were very happy with their Caltech experience. Because of the small community at Caltech, and the compactness, it feels like a family. For the parents, it’s the same. We have a lot of close connections with the parents of other students.

Caltech is an amazing campus. You get to work in an international environment with extremely smart people. There are no words to describe it. I get to learn from the most talented people in the world, and this knowledge will always stay with me. Working here is enlightening.
