The MLR introduced a new postseason award; theS. Marcus Calloway Community Impact Award,which honors the MLR player who has made a "positive impact in their community while exuding the values of the sport of rugby".

The award is named after the late S. Marcus Calloway, the former chairman and majority owner ofRugby ATLwho died in December 2021. It will be awarded to the player who shows "passion, excellence and integrity on and off the field, inspires others to action, shows strength in character, aids those less fortunate, and embraces the core values of rugby, while displaying solidarity, discipline and respect". Each Major League Rugby team will nominate one player each year for the award, with a committee made up of MLR Commissioner George Killebrew, Deputy Commissioner Bill Goren and Marcus' widow Clea Calloway, selecting the winner from the 13 nominees. The winning player will be presented with a commemorative trophy and a $5,000 donation to the non-profit of their choice at the MLR Championship Final.[12]
