California State University Bakersfield Revenue and Competitors

The California State University, Bakersfield, Foundation was established in 1969 as a non-profit, financially self-sufficient auxiliary organization that supports the mission of the California State University at Bakersfield through a variety of operations and services, such as federal and non-federal research and sponsored projects, commercial operations including food services (both cafeteria and vending), child care center, intercollegiate athletics, student scholarships and loans, and other services and activities. As a private non-profit corporation, a Board of Directors governs the Foundation. The principal function of the Board of Directors is to establish policies and guide the Foundation in achieving its objectives. To that end, the Foundation coordinates its operations with the operations of the campus to help enhance the educational and cultural environment of the University and the community it serves.
