MORE THAN A GAME.
50 fund, the legacy fund of the
With Super Bowl 50, the most important record will be set off the field, and its impact will be felt long after the last whistle is blown.
We believe this milestone Super Bowl is a golden opportunity to lift up Bay Area communities, unite our region through a spirit of generosity and leave a legacy that lasts for generations to come.
Simply put: we created 50 Fund to make Super Bowl 50 the most philanthropic and giving Super Bowl ever.
50 Fund is the signature philanthropic initiative of Super Bowl 50. Its goal is to help close the opportunity gap that exists for Bay Area children, youth and young adults living in low-income communities. Through its grantmaking programs, 50 Fund will support organizations and initiatives making a difference, tackling big issues and scaling their impact.
But it’s not just about how much we give, but how we give it. Through its grantmaking, 50 Fund will showcase the Bay Area region’s innovative approaches to creating lasting solutions for local challenges.
When we invest in young people, their families and the communities where they live, learn and play, we invest in the future of the Bay Area.
50 Fund will make grants to organizations in three areas of focus:
Youth
Development
Providing children, youth and young adults (ages 0-24) living in low-income communities with the educational, recreational and social-emotional supports they need to put them on the path to success.
Community Investment
Nurturing the health, wellbeing and livelihoods of young people and their families through investments in the economic, social and physical infrastructure of their communities.
Sustainable Environments
Building the resiliency of communities by enhancing the connectivity between residents and the natural environment that surrounds them.
