Giving to Red Deer Polytechnic
Red Deer Polytechnic is continually looking at the way we operate – both for the needs of our learners and those of industry – and creating innovative funding models to ensure that every dollar makes a difference for students now and in the future. The development of Red Deer Polytechnic hinges on significant investment from government, as well as major commitments from community partners, corporations, foundations and gifts from individual donors and philanthropists.
Your tax deductible, one-time or recurring donation can have a lasting impact on our community. Your commitment can help us establish stable and reliable funding for scholarships, program development, facilities and equipment upgrades, which ensures our learners engage with the most relevant learning experiences and graduate with a high degree of employability. Whether you give to scholarships or an operating endowment, your support makes a real difference for our students.
