The Landry Family Foundation concentrates large grants on international human rights, global health equity, and girls' education while also supporting elite U.S. education and higher-education institutions. Their portfolio mixes direct-service and advocacy organizations (refugee legal aid, surgical/health programs) with investments in secondary and tertiary education, often funding organizations that advance opportunity for marginalized populations globally. Grants are sizable and targeted, with repeated commitments to a handful of preferred partners.
Concentrated, large-dollar grants to a small number of repeat and high-impact grantees; a mix of multi-year or multiple gifts to core partners with an international development and education emphasis.
Landry Family Foundation’s recent giving is defined by repeated, large commitments to a small set of partners, especially International Refugee Assistance Project, Health Equity International, and Maranyundo Initiative. Those gifts point to a portfolio built around refugee legal aid, global health equity, and girls’ education, alongside support for selective U.S. schools and universities. The foundation’s largest recent grants include $683,000 to Health Equity International in 2023, $666,667 to Malala Fund in 2024, and $645,000 to Middlesex School in 2025, showing both international and domestic priorities in the same grantmaking pool. The pattern is not limited to one-off awards. International Refugee Assistance Project received $500,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025. Health Equity International also appeared multiple times, with major awards in 2023, 2024, and 2025. Maranyundo Initiative received three substantial grants across 2023 to 2025, while Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, Milton Academy, and Malala Fund also reappear. That repetition suggests the foundation favors sustained relationships with organizations already in its portfolio rather than highly diffuse grantmaking.
A central theme in the Landry Family Foundation’s giving is refugee support. It gave $500,000 in 2023, $500,000 in 2024, and $500,000 in 2025 to International Refugee Assistance Project, a pattern that makes legal aid and policy advocacy one of its clearest ongoing priorities. Global health equity is another major lane. The foundation gave $683,000 to Health Equity International in 2023, then followed with $408,233 in 2024 and $383,334 in 2025, indicating multi-year support for surgical and health programs. Girls’ education also appears repeatedly. Malala Fund received $666,667 in 2024 and $333,333 in 2025, while Maranyundo Initiative received $510,000 in 2023, $350,000 in 2024, and $360,000 in 2025. The portfolio also includes education institutions such as Carroll School, Chapel Hill-Chauncy Hall School, and Milton Academy.
Landry Family Foundation’s typical grant size is $13,375 at the 25th percentile, $50,000 at the median, and $101,125 at the 75th percentile, but its recent portfolio includes many much larger awards. The grant list shows repeated funding to the same organizations across 2023, 2024, and 2025, including International Refugee Assistance Project, Health Equity International, Maranyundo Initiative, Harvard University, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Milton Academy. That repetition points to sustained, relationship-based grantmaking rather than isolated project awards. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals.
