In honor of the 10-year anniversary of Levi's® Stadium opening in Santa Clara, we are launching 49ers Cares as an organization-wide effort to provide our neighbors in Santa Clara with outstanding community support and life-changing opportunities.
As part of this effort, we are committing $250,000 a year to community programs in Santa Clara, for a total of $5 million over the next 20 years.
Santa Clara is a unique place, and since we moved here our organization has been incredibly proud to call this city our home.
We know that what makes Santa Clara so special is the people, and we look forward to continuing to work with our friends and neighbors in Santa Clara for decades to come.
In the past ten years our organization has provided millions of dollars to community programs including:
Santa Clara is home to a vibrant network of community support organizations, and we are proud to have partnered with the following organizations:
Our goal has always been to make Levi's® Stadium a cornerstone of the economy and community for Santa Clara. Our impact has included:
ECONOMIC IMPACT
Building the stadium in Santa Clara has generated more than $2 billion in economic impact for the region.
JOBS & WAGES
The stadium has generated over 11,600 full-time jobs across the county since it opened, totaling over $540 million in earnings for local workers.
GOVERNMENT REVENUE
Revenue from the stadium has provided roughly $1 billion to the City of Santa Clara and the Santa Clara Stadium Authority.
YOUTH & SENIORS FUND
Revenue from each and every 49ers ticket sold at the stadium goes towards supporting Youth and Seniors programs in the City of Santa Clara, totaling over $2,000,000 since 2014.
INVESTMENT
The stadium is decades ahead of schedule in paying back its debt, saving over $100 million in interest for the Santa Clara Stadium Authority.
Levi's® Stadium is more than just a football stadium, we are proud to host events for our community, including:
VACCINATION DRIVE
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Levi's® Stadium hosted the largest vaccination drive in California, with funds provided by the 49ers, in order to keep our community safe.
TRAINING CAMP
At the beginning of each football season, we provide free tickets to Santa Clara residents to visit our training facility and watch the team practice.
HOPE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
In partnership with local non-profit organizations, each year our players and staff have helped to deliver hundreds of meals and gifts to local families for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
T.H.I.N.K. GOLD CONFERENCE
Since 2009, we have hosted an annual conference for female student athletes, including Santa Clara residents, that focuses on supporting young women in their athletic endeavors, and gives them an inside look at the world of professional sports.
ELECTION CENTER
We have opened Levi's® Stadium to Santa Clara County voters on Election Day and early voting periods to encourage every resident to vote.
It is our responsibility to leave our planet and community a better place, which has been the motivating factor behind our environmental efforts including:
LEED CERTIFICATION

WATER USAGE

The 27,000 square foot green space on the stadium's tower roof helps to reduce heating and cooling requirements.

Our compostable cups, eating and serving utensils have helped to reduce waste from events and games.
REUSABLE ENERGY
Over 20,000 square feet of solar panels located around the stadium help to offset our energy usage, making all of our NFL events carbon neutral.
