CoA+A "Launch" Microgrants
The concept of microgrants, or seed money, has become widely practiced as a way to boost blossoming entrepreneurs and artists. As creative students graduate, many could benefit from seed money to help launch them into their careers or create worthwhile projects. The first “Launch” grant of $500 will be awarded in April 2024.


Pride of Niner Nation Marching Band
Celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Marching Band! The PNNMB performs at football and basketball games, special events, and city parades, and takes part in local high school competitions, delivering 49er Pride in many ways. Members of the band come from each of the eight Colleges on campus. Your gift provides pivotal funding as we continue to grow.
