Our Work

The Sharks Foundation USA was officially established in 2021 after an investment by MVM Holdings in Sharks Rugby, because of the power of sport to support and uplift communities.

After flooding and political unrest impacted various communities in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, in 2021, we helped lead the #HandsOfHope campaign to provide our communities with immediate relief.

We are proud to partner with foundations established by current and past Sharks Rugby players who are providing on the ground support in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

By partnering with us, you join a movement that focuses on food security, youth education and stronger communities.
