The trust directs a small number of very large gifts primarily to independent and higher education institutions and to Jewish communal causes. Grants are institutional, unrestricted “charitable” gifts to well-established organizations rather than project-level funding, suggesting a focus on sustaining education and community infrastructure. While based in New York, the foundation funds prominent organizations in other regions (Miami, Washington DC, New Orleans), indicating national rather than hyper-local giving.
Concentrated giving: very few, large grants to established institutional grantees; appears to favor one-off or periodic major gifts rather than many small awards or grassroots organizations.
A defining feature of Charitable & Educational Trust Ua 7th of W/o Georges Lurcy Deceased is its steady support for institutions tied to Jewish communal life and independent education, alongside grants to universities and other educational organizations. The largest recent award in the data is $680,000 to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, followed by $535,000 to Sidwell Friends School in Washington, DC. Those gifts sit within a broader pattern of charitable, institutional support rather than project-specific awards, with universities, schools, and community organizations receiving repeated funding. The trust’s recent grants also show a strong educational line running through higher education and K-12 schools. Tulane University received $342,500 in 2024 and another $42,500 in 2025, while Xavier University received $205,000. Hathaway Brown School, Temple Beth Am, Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, and Gables Stage appear among other recipients, showing that the trust funds a mix of academic, communal, and cultural institutions. The grant list suggests a preference for established organizations that can absorb unrestricted charitable gifts and use them within their existing missions.
In Jewish communal giving, the trust awarded $680,000 to the Greater Miami Jewish Federation and another $140,000 to Temple Beth Am in Pine Crest, Florida. Those grants point to support for organized community infrastructure rather than isolated projects. In higher education, Tulane University received $342,500 in 2024 and $42,500 in 2025, while Xavier University received $205,000. The trust also gave $50,000 each to New York University, The Harvard Law School, and Princeton University, showing consistent interest in established academic institutions. Its K-12 school giving includes $535,000 to Sidwell Friends School and $110,000 to Hathaway Brown School. The presence of both independent schools and universities suggests a broad educational emphasis across age groups. Cultural and science-related grants also appear, including $101,000 to Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden, $40,000 to Gables Stage, and $40,000 to Miami Music Project.

Notable grantees: Greater Miami Jewish Federation, Sidwell Friends School, Tulane University, Xavier University
Typical grants cluster in the low-thousands to low-tens-of-thousands range, with p25 at $5,000, a median of $7,375, and p75 at $20,000. The recent-grants list also includes a small number of much larger institutional gifts, which drives the annual total higher than the median grant size would suggest. The trust appears to fund recurring relationships: Tulane University, Sidwell Friends School, Amherst College, New York University, and Greater Miami Jewish Federation each appear more than once in the recent-grants list across 2024 and 2025. The trust is an educational and charitable trust, not an individual-giving vehicle, and it does not make program-related investments. Some active scholarship and fellowship programs accept unsolicited applications, while others do not.
Most grants go to U.S. recipients, and 34% are awarded in the foundation’s HQ state of New York. Recent gifts are concentrated in Miami, New York City, Washington, DC, New Orleans, and Cambridge, with additional activity in Florida, Ohio, and Illinois. Among the largest recent grants, Miami and New York recur as recipient locations, while Washington, DC and New Orleans also appear repeatedly. The grant list shows national reach rather than a single-city focus, even though New York is the top state by grant count.
Recent grants show repeated support for schools, universities, and Jewish communal organizations. Examples include Sidwell Friends School, Tulane University, Xavier University, the Greater Miami Jewish Federation, and Temple Beth Am. The pattern is institutional charitable support rather than individual giving.
Yes. Recent grants go to recipients in Miami, Washington, DC, New Orleans, Cincinnati, Coral Gables, Shaker Heights, Cambridge, Princeton, Chicago, Boston, and Oakland. New York is the top state by grant count, but the giving is national in scope.
Among the trust’s overall grantmaking, the p25 grant size is $5,000, the median is $7,375, and the p75 is $20,000. The recent list also includes several much larger institutional grants, including awards above $100,000.
Yes. Tulane University appears in both 2024 and 2025, as do Sidwell Friends School, Amherst College, New York University, Foundation for Science & Mathematics Education, and Greater Miami Jewish Federation. That points to repeat relationships rather than one-time grants only.
Yes. Active programs include the Georges Lurcy Travel Fellowship for Research in France, Lurcy Scholarships for French Students Specializing in American Studies, the Georges Lurcy Charitable and Educational Trust scholarship program, the Georges Lurcy Grant Program at Tulane University, and the Lurcy Fellowship for Study in France at the University of Michigan.
