About the Foundation
Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected volleyball community—driven by collaboration, passion and excellence.
By supporting USAV and the broader volleyball community, USAVF creates opportunities, empowers athletes, galvanizes communities, inspires youth and fosters unity—through the unifying spirit of volleyball.
Philanthropy
Charitable contributions, thoughtfully deployed, create life-changing opportunities. Investing in young people today shapes a stronger tomorrow.
Advocacy
It’s not always about money. The passion and energy of dedicated volunteers, united to promote and grow volleyball, can drive meaningful change.
Areas of Impact
Why Our Mission Matters
Volleyball is more than a game—it catalyzes connection, growth and positive change. Its collaborative nature fosters unity, inclusion and resilience, shaping individuals who carry these values beyond the court. Volleyball players become leaders, mentors and changemakers, driving meaningful impact in their communities.
Together, we can do great things!
Athlete Wellness
Provide resources to support athletes on U.S. National Teams (senior beach, indoor, sitting), age-group national teams, college national teams and National Team Development Programs (NTDP), and help them achieve sustained competitive success and pursue their dreams on and off the court.
Accessibility and Affordability
Expand opportunities, reduce barriers to entry, and retain participation and competition for kids and adults in under-resourced/under-represented communities
