The Eberhardt School of Business offers a two-term class for MBA and undergraduate business students called the Eberhardt Student Investment Fund (SIF). Students are selected through a formal application process and have the ability to manage an investment portfolio worth over 3 million dollars. The Bank of Stockton and its President and CEO Douglass Eberhardt, sponsors the fund. Students participating in the Eberhardt SIF will be accountable to its board, which consists of the dean, the vice president of business and finance for the university, and four investment professionals. An annual report of their investment activities and results will be written by the students and their work, transactions, and report are audited by an independent accounting firm, just like in a real investment fund. The Eberhardt SIF teaches our students the importance of sharing their success with others. Each year, a percentage of the funds net assets will be distributed to benefit the University.

Stockton Impact Corps was founded as a micro-lending organization to help generate more economic opportunity for entrepreneurs in the Stockton Community. We integrate consulting practices and business development skills to serve the small-business sector of Stockton. Working collaboratively with community based organizations and stakeholders, Stockton Impact Corps creates an environment for students and the local community to make a meaningful impact on improving the economic and social issues Stockton faces. Serving the underbanked population of Stockton, we focus on offering two resources: small business consulting and micro-lending. We have created an infrastructure to lend to individuals who face financial and credit challenges, to keep them from using alternative, non-traditional financial services. Ultimately, we want to open doors to the underserved financial community, encouraging and empowering this population.
