The Caltech Y's core support comes from the generous donations of its Friends . A gift of $300 per couple ($150 per individual) qualifies you as a Friend of the Caltech Y. You will be invited to special Friends dinners, held three times a year, to visit with students and hear guest speakers. You will also have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of other campus events and programs. Best of all, you will know that you have helped enrich the lives of Caltech students. We invite our most dedicated supporters to donate at the Patron level or greater.
