Driven by a vision of transformative change and holistic community upliftment, the Oakvale Foundation bridges the world of exclusivity with purposeful philanthropy.

Oakvale
Foundation

The Oakvale Foundation, an initiative by the Oakvale Collection, stands as a beacon of positive transformation, weaving together priviledge and purpose.

The foundation is not just an extension of our brand; it’s a testament to our unwavering dedication to community upliftment. Central to our mission are the pillars of education, healthcare, and the holistic development of women and children.

About The
Foundation

The Oakvale Foundation is honoured to be a proud supporter of the Åhus Beach Cup in Sweden, an event that resonates deeply with our ethos of community and lifelong memory-making.

Originating in 1997 as a modest handball tournament, the Åhus Beach Cup has transformed through passion, joy, and respect into Europe’s largest beach handball gathering. It’s not just about the sport; it’s about community, entertainment, and creating a lasting impact.

Today, the tournament is a multifaceted event featuring beach soccer competitions, live concerts, and appearances by world-class profiles, making it a celebration of athleticism, art, and community spirit.

We at Oakvale Collection are committed to uplifting and empowering communities, and our support for the Åhus Beach Cup underscores our dedication to fostering events that bring people together, create lasting memories, and inspire future generations.

Empowering Tomorrow,
Rooted in Tradition.

Why We Started
The Foundation

The inception of the Oakvale Foundation was inspired by a profound desire of the Ekdahl family, friends and our guests to give back in meaningful ways.

Recognising the privilege and opportunities we’ve been bestowed, we felt compelled to extend our hands in solidarity and support.

The foundation became our avenue to tangibly aid and invest in the local communities, ensuring the prosperity and growth of the very areas that have enriched our own lives.

Now, we invite you to help us help more; if you are moved to make a difference and be part of this journey, please get in touch. Your involvement can be the catalyst for transformative change.

Upliftment
in Local Communities

Our passion for community upliftment is unwavering. With a steadfast focus on fortifying education, bolstering sports, and advancing healthcare, we aim to establish a legacy of empowerment that radiates beyond our estates. Entrusting our family and local property managers to channel funds judiciously, we're dedicated to ensuring that every penny is harnessed to catalyse genuine, impactful change for the betterment of the communities we hold dear.

At Oakvale Collection, we're proud to support initiatives like the Oakvale United soccer club at Oakvale Estate in Franschhoek, where we witness firsthand the transformational power of community engagement and empowerment.
