How We Help Students
PPFA provides fundraisers,
grants, and support that enrich
the Poly experience—so every
student has the opportunity to
thrive.
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute, known as Poly, has been a cornerstone of academic
excellence since its founding in 1883. With a tradition of innovation, achievement, and school pride, Poly has prepared generations of students for success in college, careers, and life.
That success does not happen alone. Parents and guardians have always played a vital role in supporting Poly’s mission. Through involvement in school events, partnerships with faculty, and encouragement at home, families help ensure that every student has the tools, resources, and confidence to thrive. When families and school work together, the entire Poly community grows stronger.
Getting involved with the PPFA is one of the best ways to support your student and stay connected to the Poly community. Volunteering doesn’t require
special skills, just a willingness to help and a Poly spirit! From major events like Polynomial, Pandemonium, and After Prom to monthly meetings and school functions, there are opportunities for every schedule and every interest.
Whether you have a little time to spare or want to dive in deeper, your involvement makes Poly stronger and helps create unforgettable experiences for our students. You’ll meet great people, have fun, and make a real difference.
"We live by each other and for each other. Alone, we can do so little. Together we can do so much." -Helen Keller
