For over 30 years, the 49ers Foundation has remained committed to our mission: Educate and Empower Bay Area Youth. We believe that by focusing the team’s charitable efforts on the next generation, we are helping build a better Bay Area for generations to come. Our colors, red and gold, expand far beyond what we do on the field and represent both a passion for community impact and a standard of excellence in everything we do. Whether you are an avid fan or a casual observer, your support for this team, both on the field and in the community, is what inspires the work we do. The philanthropic work of the 49ers Foundation provides our fans the opportunity to help change the lives of those furthest from resources in their communities.

Since 1991, the 49ers Foundation has invested nearly $70 million back into the community to support youth and provide the tools they need to tackle what is possible. From its inception in 2014, 49ers EDU presented by Chevron has leveraged the game of football and Levi’s® Stadium to introduce over 500,000 K-8 students to modern STEAM (Science, Technology, Education, Arts, and Mathematics) concepts and career paths. In 2009, we launched 49ers PREP, presented by U.S. Bank, to empower Bay Area youth to lead healthy lifestyles. Through an array of in-stadium and in-school programming, our staff works to engage youth through sport, physical activity, and character development that nurtures the growth of student-athletes beyond the playing field. To date, 49ers PREP has impacted the lives of over 130,000 K-12 students.

We continued full in-person programming this year, enabling us to sustain connections with students, athletes, beneficiaries, Bay Area industry leaders, and donors year-round in both familiar and new ways. With our reimagined, multi-touchpoint, direct service programs, we have been able to maximize and deepen our impact on Bay Area youth. These multi-part initiatives have succeeded in ensuring that students leave our programs with a better understanding of STEAM and wellness concepts, ultimately inspiring our next generation to dream big and tackle what’s possible.

This year, we are thrilled to team up with the California Natural Resources Agency to launch the first-ever specialty license plate by a professional sports team in California. This initiative will not only showcase our commitment to the environment but also provide fans with a unique way to support the 49ers Foundation and its impactful programs.

The 49ers Foundation is YOUR Foundation, and so we call to you, the Faithful, to join us in our continued commitment - improving the lives of the next generation and remaining faithful to our shared future.
