In partnership with the NHL, SAP and the City of San Jose, the Sharks Foundation refurbished an outdoor rink at Roosevelt Park in the heart of downtown San Jose, as a legacy project to commemorate the 2019 All-Star Game. The Sharks Foundation donated $500,000 for much needed upgrades, making the development the second largest contribution in the Foundation's history. Construction included a new, all-weather floor conducive for both street and roller hockey, ADA accessible bleachers, dasher boards and chain link fencing. Funds provided the rink with new street hockey equipment and gear, as well as covered expenses for new and existing hockey programming and camps. The revitalized space will increase access to the game of hockey year-round, providing a safe, active environment for community members.

In 2014 the Sharks Foundation, in partnership with SAP, announced the allocation of $750,000 over a three-year period to fund the redesign of a pediatric floor at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center to create a new Women's and Children's Center. This unit will be San Jose's first, and only of its kind, offering affordable and high quality health care to women and children with the redesign's emphasis on creating a space that is not only functional, but educational as well as visually artistic and inviting.

The Sharks Foundation dedicated $25,000 of proceeds from the 2013 Sampling with the Sharks wine tasting fundraiser towards the creation of the Rotary PlayGarden. The playground, a project of the San Jose Rotary Club in partnership with the Guadalupe River Park Conservancy, allows children of all abilities to discover, learn, explore and play together side by side, with an emphasis on inclusion and education.

In partnership with the VMC Foundation, the Sharks Foundation created the Sharks Pediatric Clinic at Valley Health Center Tully, when it transformed an existing pediatric clinic into a Sharks-themed environment. The clinic, with its play area in the waiting room and Sharks-themed exam rooms, creates a care environment that is positive, fun, and exciting for kids. Seeing over 6,000 patients each month, the Sharks Pediatric Clinic provides children and their families with full access to a pediatrician for regular check-ups, immunizations, urgent care and emergency dental care regardless of ability to pay.
