About Mccourt Foundation
The Mccourt Foundation Inc. stands out for pairing large event-based support with a focused neuroscience and accessibility portfolio. Its biggest recent grants went to Students Run America Dba Students Run La for event entries for students, including awards of $958,300 in 2025, $929,200 in 2025, and $921,340 in 2023. Alongside that scale, the foundation has made repeated six-figure commitments to Massachusetts General Hospital and Brigham & Womens Hospital for neurology research, as well as to Cedars-sinai Medical Center for the same purpose. The pattern is not limited to research. The foundation also supports organizations serving students, adults with advanced multiple sclerosis, people with spina bifida, and people with mobility and accessibility challenges. Recent grants to The Boston Home and The Lead Out Foundation show that it funds both direct service and quality-of-life support, while Los Angeles Unified School District appears in the recent record for school supplies and event-related support. The combination of race-linked participation funding, medical research, and community partnerships defines its giving profile.
What Mccourt Foundation Funds
Neurology research is a clear theme in the recent record. The foundation gave $230,000 and $115,000 in 2025 to Massachusetts General Hospital for supporting neurology research, and also made research grants of $35,000 and $10,000 in 2025 to Cedars-sinai Medical Center. Its disability and accessibility work is more direct-service oriented. The Lead Out Foundation received $21,285 in 2023, $17,610 in 2024, $17,610 in 2025, and $9,163 in 2025 for efforts aimed at making life easier for people with spina bifida and accessibility and mobility challenges. In support for adults with progressive neurological conditions, The Boston Home received $15,513 in 2025 and $10,975 in both 2024 and 2025 for its work with adults with advanced multiple sclerosis and other progressive neurological conditions. The foundation also backs student programming through Los Angeles Unified School District, including $103,933 in 2023 for school district supplies.
How Mccourt Foundation Gives
Typical grant size is mid-market: the 25th percentile is $10,000, the median is $17,610, and the 75th percentile is $102,950. The recent record mixes smaller program and operating support with much larger event-linked awards. Recipients appear across multiple years, including Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham & Womens Hospital, Cedars-sinai Medical Center, The Lead Out Foundation, and The Boston Home, which points to recurring relationships rather than isolated gifts. The foundation’s active programs include charity partnerships and event-based fundraising connections, and one program accepts unsolicited participation for nonprofit charity partners.
