Free Speech Event Fund

What is this fund?

Announcing the 2025 Free Speech Event Support Fund! This fund is open to Cal Poly Pomona departments, colleges, and registered student organizations for any event occurring in the 2025-2026 Academic Year (August 2025 - May 2026).

If you are hosting an event with a free speech component — such as a panel discussion, debate, open forum, guest lecture, or similar activity — we can help cover up to $1000 for your event.

Our goal is to encourage dialogue, foster understanding, and ensure that free expression thrives on campus. Whether your event is large or small, if it advances the spirit of open conversation, you may be eligible for support.
