The Efrusy Family Foundation concentrates philanthropic support on leadership development and education initiatives—particularly residential leadership academies for youth in Africa and Latin America—while also funding local early childhood education in Park City and broader Brazil-focused civil society. Their grants tend to be sizable and multi-year, often repeated to the same organizations, and include both program-restricted campaign support (e.g., preschool endowment) and flexible general operating support to regional partners.
The Efrusy Family Foundation’s most visible pattern is long-running support for leadership academies and scholarship funds tied to African and Latin American youth. In 2025, it backed the African Leadership Foundation with $915,000 for the ALA scholarship fund and AL for Gov fund, alongside another $444,000 grant for the same work. The same year, it gave $230,000 to the Latin American Leadership Foundation Inc for the Latin American Leadership Academy and $200,000 for the academy fund, showing repeated support for the two regional leadership pipelines. The foundation also funds community-rooted education and civic work. Park City Education Foundation received $400,000 in 2025 for the Reaching New Heights Campaign - Preschool Endowment, following an earlier $400,000 grant in 2023 for the same campaign. Other large grants reached Brazil Foundation for general and unrestricted support and Shining Hope for Communities Inc for SHOFCO Urban Network funding. Across the recent record, the foundation uses sizable grants to back education, leadership development, and selected civic initiatives through both restricted funds and flexible support.
Education appears in several forms across the grant record. The foundation gave $400,000 to Park City Education Foundation for the Reaching New Heights Campaign - Preschool Endowment, and an additional $80,000 to Park City Community Foundation for Youth United and the Community Fund. Leadership development is another clear thread. It gave $220,000 to African Leadership Foundation for the African Leadership Academy (ALA) ALforGovernance Sector fund, and $200,000 to Latin American Leadership Foundation Inc for the Latin American Leadership Academy fund. Civic and governance work also shows up. International Generosity Foundation Trust received $70,000 for the Treeco Fund for capacity building for local elected leaders and governance benchmarking programs. The foundation also supported More Perfect Union Foundation with $100,000 for general and unrestricted purposes.
Grant sizes cluster in the middle-to-upper range of the record, with a typical grant size of p25 $21,250, median $46,000, and p75 $98,750. The recent list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2025, including Park City Education Foundation, Brazil Foundation, African Leadership Foundation, Latin American Leadership Foundation Inc, Shining Hope for Communities Inc, International Justice Mission, More Perfect Union Foundation, and Stanford University/Stanford University Graduate School of Business. The foundation is a regular Funder and also makes program-related investments. Its grants include both restricted project support and general and unrestricted support.
