About New Zealand Rugby Foundation.

Since 1986, the NZ Rugby Foundation has stood alongside players whose lives have been changed by serious injury — and we do so much more. With 130,000 registered rugby players safely taking the field each year, our role is to ensure that, when the unimaginable does happen, the Foundation is right there by the player and their family. We have a successful history of caring for and connecting Rugby’s seriously injured players and their whānau, combining our expertise with their lived experiences. Our work is anchored in three pillars: Support: Providing lifelong practical, emotional and financial support for seriously injured players and their whānau. We partner with New Zealand’s seriously injured players for life. Once a teammate, always a teammate. Champion: We move fast, we fight hard but fair to champion the unique needs of every seriously injured player and whānau. Rugby is a physical game, and serious injuries occur. When that happens, we are beside the player and whānau from day one, ensuring they get the support they are entitled to and our help to make their lives easier. Collaboration: Bringing together whānau, funders, donors, affiliates and the wider community to maximise opportunities, overcome challenges, and achieve positive outcomes.
