The Wallace Landry Family Foundation concentrates almost all of its giving on youth-focused education and enrichment in the New Orleans area, with very large contributions to a single private secondary school and a smaller gift to a local youth-serving organization. Their support appears aimed at sustaining a Catholic girls' academy and strengthening after‑school/youth programming in the region.
Highly concentrated giving: a very large, repeated commitment to one primary grantee (Mount Carmel Academy) plus a single smaller grant to a regional youth services organization; few total grants and localized focus.
Notable grantees: Mount Carmel Academy, BGC-SELA (Boys & Girls Clubs - Southeast LA)
Wallace Landry Family Foundation’s largest recent gifts went to Mount Carmel Academy, including two 2025 contributions of $300,000 and $250,000. That pattern frames a grantmaker focused on Catholic girls’ secondary education, with additional support for youth-serving organizations and related school, parish, and enrichment institutions in New Orleans. The foundation’s recent giving also includes $60,000 to Bgc-sela, showing that its support is not limited to one school even though Mount Carmel Academy receives the biggest share. Smaller grants in the recent list extend to organizations such as Team Gleason, Christian Brothers, Harry Tompson Center, St Andrew's Village, and St Dominic Parish. The result is a portfolio built around education and youth development, with particular attention to institutions that serve children and families in the New Orleans area. Across the recent grant list, the foundation appears to favor operating or contribution-style support rather than one-off project grants with detailed public descriptions. Its giving pattern points to a family foundation using relatively concentrated grants to sustain a small set of local nonprofits and faith-linked education partners.
Catholic education is the clearest theme in the recent record. Wallace Landry Family Foundation gave $300,000 and $250,000 to Mount Carmel Academy in 2025, both listed as contributions. Youth development is another visible area: it awarded $60,000 to Bgc-sela and another $25,000 to the same organization, indicating repeated support for a local Boys & Girls Clubs affiliate. Faith-based and school-linked organizations also appear throughout the grant list. The foundation gave $25,000 to Christian Brothers and $10,000 to Immaculate Conception Jesuit Church, while St Dominic Parish received $20,000 and later $5,000. Support for educational institutions extends beyond New Orleans as well, with a $20,000 grant to Seaside School Foundation in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, and $5,000 to St Lillian's Academy in Baton Rouge. These grants show a mix of Catholic schooling, youth programming, and affiliated community institutions.
Typical grants are modest relative to the foundation’s largest awards: the recent distribution shows a p25 of $2,250, a median of $5,000, and a p75 of $20,000. The recent record also includes a small number of much larger contributions, with two Mount Carmel Academy grants far above the median. Several recipients appear more than once in the 2025 list, including Bgc-sela, Team Gleason, Christian Brothers, St Dominic Parish, USA Wrestling, Lakeview Shepherd Center, National Ms, St Andrew's Village, and St Dominic Cyo. That repetition suggests ongoing support for selected organizations rather than a purely one-time approach. The foundation is a family foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
