Challenge for Charity (C4C) is a nonprofit that was founded in 1984 by a Stanford GSB student whose sister had Down's syndrome and was a Special Olympics athlete. This student wanted to support Special Olympics and other community-based organizations. Accordingly, C4C's mission is to support Special Olympics and other local charities and, ultimately, to develop business leaders with a lifelong commitment to community involvement and social responsibility.

These goals are accomplished through volunteerism and fundraising and are fostered through collegial interaction among participating business schools. Seven West Coast business schools participate in C4C and compete annually in three categories: volunteer hours, fundraising, and a weekend sports competition hosted by Stanford each April. The results in each of these three categories are tallied and weighted, and the school that scores the most points wins the coveted "Golden Briefcase".

GSB's C4C Chapter has traditionally worked with Special Olympics of Northern California, Boys and Girls Club of the Peninsula, and East Palo Alto Tennis and Tutoring. Starting in 2015, C4C counts volunteer hours at any local nonprofit.

The Stanford GSB Family Business Club is a home for those who want to build enduring, sustainable enterprises that often fall outside of the traditional Silicon Valley VC-fueled growth.

We exist to empower GSB students who are committed to creating or scaling lasting and impactful businesses that transcend generations. Our mission is to provide a collaborative space for learning and growth as we explore the unique opportunities and challenges of long-term institutions such as family-owned businesses. The business model of such institutions often differs from that of startups or large corporations, and it is our goal to give GSB students the opportunity to fill in that gap through meaningful learning experiences on this markedly different framework.

As a club, we work with students, faculty, alumni, and the broader Stanford community to support our members’ journey in forging lasting legacies. To achieve this purpose, we provide unique opportunities for connection and collaboration; educational and career development resources; workshops on key issues specific to family enterprises, such as governance, succession, and innovation; speaker events with family-business leaders; and a network of peers and mentors who share interest in generational enterprises. It is our mission to equip students with the tools and resources to navigate the unique challenges of family-owned businesses, foster a strong community of shared experiences and mutual growth, and empower our members to build lasting legacies.

The purpose of the FOM club is to help GSB students gain a deeper understanding of the rapidly changing mobility landscape that is being disrupted by self-driving and flying cars, new ownership models, and multi-modal transport models. These changes will have an unprecedented effect on hundreds of thousands of jobs in the US economy - and on society as a whole - and at the same time, create new business opportunities for entrepreneurs.

We will explore the four big trends that are actively challenging the existing infrastructure:

Connectivity: Cars will be able to communicate with each other, thereby avoiding accidents. What are some key technology trends to make this happen? What skills will be needed for entrepreneurs?
Autonomy: Cars will be able to drive themselves, which has tremendous effects on various factors such as urban planning, legal codes in case of accidents, insurances, business models for car producers, and new entrants such as Waymo and Uber, etc.
Sharing: Autonomous cars could be available at the click of a button, thus eliminating the need for personal car ownership. What are the effects on business models of car producers - a USD 2.3 trillion industry in the US alone?
Electric: Experts agree that the future of the car industry is in electric vehicles. Who will win in the race towards electric mass-mobility? Will it be prominent challengers such as Tesla or the established car producers?
