Ann C and Robert O Orders Jr Family Foundation Inc
Its FY2025 filing reports that it accepted unsolicited grant applications.
Read this first · the figures below need context
63% of Ann C and Robert O Orders Jr Family Foundation Inc’s FY2025 grant dollars went to The Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation, not to grantees.
Its money now reaches organizations through that sponsor, which does not report who recommended each grant. FY2025 names 10 organizations directly, so a portfolio cannot be read from it. Everything below is therefore FY2024, the last year Ann C and Robert O Orders Jr Family Foundation Inc named its own grantees at scale: 11 organizations, $175k. It is dated, not current.
Organizations named directly on the return

What it funded, over time
Every grant placed by its stated purpose and the recipient’s mission, by year, FY2017 to 2025.

Does the money reach high-need areas?
Each grant placed by the hardship in its grantee’s ZIP, against the area’s typical level.
Its human-services grants (FY23–25, $13k) land where the poverty rate runs at 12%, against an area that typically sits at 13%. 0% of those dollars go to grantees based in above-average-need neighborhoods. Its grants skew toward lower-need ZIPs.

How this is measured
Where the work is directed
The same grants placed two ways: where each recipient sits, and where its stated purpose sends the money.
About 15% of Ann C and Robert O Orders Jr Family Foundation Inc’s grant dollars are earmarked for a different county than the recipient’s own address. By recipient address, 75% of the giving stays in WV; by stated purpose, 71%.
How this is measured
Who it funds again
Organizations funded in more than one year, against those funded once.
Grantees it renews have grown median revenue +64% since the first grant, against -5% for those funded once.
17 repeat relationships: 12 still active in FY2024, 5 since wound down; 4 grantees were first funded in FY2024 (too recent to call). Read against FY2024, the last year this funder named its own grantees directly; its giving has since run through a sponsor, which reports no donor behind each grant.

How this is measured
21 grantees tracked through their own filings, 2017–2026.
Each grant beside the grantee’s revenue from every source, year by year.
How this is measured
Counted here: distinct organizations funded across 2017 to 2026, not grant rows in a single year, so this will not match the grant count on the cover. 21 of the 41 grantees resolved in that span have returns of their own we could reconcile.
Each grantee is resolved to its own IRS returns. Association, dated; never a causal claim.

Co-funders
Grantmakers whose grantees overlap with this funder’s far more than size alone predicts. Closer means stronger alignment; arcs show where they also fund each other. Here they form a tightly interlocked group: most of these funders back each other's grantees too.
