49ERS FOUNDATION
#Tackling
Possible
For over three decades, the 49ers Foundation has leveraged the power of football to educate and empower Bay Area youth through innovative, community-focused initiatives. Our award-winning STEAM education programs, nationally recognized youth football camps, and impactful partnerships with leading nonprofits exemplify our unwavering dedication to inspiring confidence and fostering collaboration among our youth. This transformative work is made possible by the generous support of our corporate partners, Red & Gold Society members, and our devoted donors and supporters.
EVENTS
KICKOFF: Players for a Purpose
Presented by SAP
The 49ers Foundation’s sixth annual Kickoff: Players for a Purpose presented by SAP raised a record-breaking $863,000. The Foundation welcomed over 500 guests to the practice facilities at Levi’s® Stadium alongside the entire 49ers roster and alumni legends who helped get the crowd ready for the evening. The event also featured a heartfelt keynote speech from Galileo High School QB Sariyah Duong about leading her team to become the 2023 CIF San Francisco Section Champions.
Day with the 49ers in Mexico City
To continue the celebration of the team’s return to Mexico, 49ers EDU teamed up with legendary Hall of Famer Patrick Willis, and World Flag Football Champion Diana Flores to educate and empower over 100 kids and young athletes from the Los Cabos community for "Day with the 49ers" at the Bicentenario Stadium. Students were introduced to our 49ers EDU curriculum, a blend of STEAM education with the excitement of football.
KNBR Holiday Sports Auction
Presented by PepsiCo
The seventh annual KNBR Holiday Sports Auction, benefiting the 49ers Foundation, raised over $138,000 in 2023. The two-day on-air auction started on Giving Tuesday and gave 49ers Faithful the opportunity to bid on one-of-a-kind memorabilia and experiences, ranging from a VIP Gameday alongside 49ers President, Al Guido, and Topgolf with Fred Warner to a once in a lifetime experience at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

50/50 RAFFLE
Presented by Venardi Zurada LLP
During the 2023 season, the 49ers Foundation continued to be one of the top-ranking NFL teams in its fundraising efforts with the 50/50 Raffle presented by Venardi Zurada LLP, raising over $1.7 million during regular and postseason 49ers games at Levi's® Stadium. Each game, the funds raised were split evenly between one lucky fan and one of the Foundation's 10 community beneficiaries: 49ers EDU presented by Chevron, 49ers PREP presented by U.S. Bank, 49ers Foundation, African American Female Excellence, Fresh Lifelines for Youth, City Year San José/Silicon Valley, STEM Leadership Institute presented by Chevron, the Golden Heart Fund, Okizu, and Operation Care and Comfort.
Dig for Gold Auction & Sale
Presented by Jelly Belly
The Dig for Gold Auction & Sale presented by Jelly Belly provides 49ers fans the opportunity to score authentic, can’t-buy collectibles straight from the 49ers locker room while supporting programs that help level the playing field for Bay Area youth. Dig for Gold achieved a record program revenue of over $500,000 and resold over 3 tons of textiles in its effort to be a sustainable alternative in the industry. In 2023, the program became the first NFL Club initiative to be recognized for its efforts in sustainability by NFL Green.
Teacher of the Game
Presented by Chevron
The 49ers Foundation is proud to partner with Chevron to recognize Northern California educators for their commitments to the next generation. During the 2023 season, we honored ten educators on the field during the third quarter at 49ers home games as a thank-you for carrying out our mission to educate and empower Bay Area youth daily.
Community Connections
Presented by PG&E
The 49ers Foundation was proud to introduce Community Connections presented by PG&E, a signature gameday program celebrating the 49ers success on the field to make a big impact off the field. PG&E donated $700 for every 49ers touchdown, $500 for every 49ers sack, and $300 for every 49ers field goal to a designated beneficiary of the 49ers Foundation, culminating in a grand total of $38,400 for the 2023 home season!
STEAM Students of the Game
Presented by PG&E
For each 49ers home game, we invited two Bay Area students who have a passion for STEAM education or want to pursue a career in a STEAM-related field to a 49ers home game and spotlight them on our social media channels.” Verb agreement (invited and spotlight). For many of these sections the author is taking prior present tense copy but putting it into our annual report which looks back on our impact last year.
Scoreboard Message Program
Fans had the opportunity to purchase a personalized scoreboard welcome, happy birthday, anniversary, proposal or congratulations message at a 49ers home game and see their name in lights on the large scoreboard. The 49ers Foundation raised a program record of over $15,000 during the 2023 season.
Citrix Owners
Club
The 49ers Foundation continued its presence in the Citrix Owner’s Club at 49ers games at Levi’s® Stadium during the 2023 season. An activation station allowed guests to stop by and sign up for a complimentary raffle to win autographed items, and serves as an opportunity to learn more about the 49ers Foundation, our direct service youth programs, and upcoming events and activities.
RED & GOLD SOCIETY DONOR WALL
Throughout the 2023 season, the 49ers Foundation further cemented our most dedicated supporters’ legacy into Levi’s® Stadium with our Red & Gold Society Donor Wall. This interactive wall honors our Red & Gold Society members’ commitments to the long-term sustainability of the 49ers Foundation, as well as the contributions of various longtime charitable partners.
