Organization Summary
Chico State Enterprises serves the university by providing fiscal management of externally funded projects orientated toward research, education, arts, and public service, including North State Public Radio, Chico Performances, Gateway Science Museum, and the Turner Print Museum. As a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporate organization, Chico State Enterprises is distinct from CSU, Chico and receives no state appropriations for its operations.

Chico Performances also presents Field Trip series performances for primary and secondary school children that is the only series of its kind in the surrounding 5 rural counties.
