About Robert and Frances Chaney Family Foundation

The Robert and Frances Chaney Family Foundation appears to operate as a very small, highly concentrated private family foundation: three grants totaling $1,089,728 are recorded but all are listed only as "SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE," so public-facing detail about recipients and purposes is not provided. From the pattern of a single bundled schedule entry and the foundation’s Jacksonville, OR location, it likely directs substantial sums to a small number of local or closely held beneficiaries rather than a broad portfolio of national grantees. Because recipient names and purposes are omitted in the available data, any thematic conclusions require review of the attached schedule or the foundation’s tax filings for confirmation.

Giving Approach

Highly concentrated: very few but large grants bundled under an attached schedule; appears to favor substantial awards to a small number of recipients rather than many small grants. Limited public transparency in the dataset.

About Robert and Frances Chaney Family Foundation

The Robert and Frances Chaney Family Foundation’s recent giving is defined by three very large grants, each recorded only as "See Attached Schedule," with amounts of $370,139 in 2025, $367,576 in 2023, and $352,013 in 2024. That pattern points to a foundation that places substantial resources into a small number of awards rather than a broad portfolio of many smaller gifts. The available records do not identify the individual recipients or project purposes, but they do show a consistent local footprint: every recent grant is listed in Jacksonville, Oregon. The foundation also has a separate public grant program structure focused on tax-exempt organizations serving residents in Jackson and Josephine Counties in Oregon, with support for human services, public safety, and faith-based programs. Across the data, the Chaney family name appears tied to a local, place-based funding approach with both sizeable recorded grants and a competitive community grant program. For researchers, the foundation reads as highly concentrated in both scale and geography, with public-facing detail limited in the recent grant listings.

What Robert and Frances Chaney Family Foundation Funds

The foundation’s stated grant programs center on human services, public safety, and faith-based work. In one program, it supports children and families through grants to tax-exempt organizations whose projects directly benefit residents of Jackson County and Josephine County in Oregon, as well as Barry County, Missouri. A second program description adds Cabell County, West Virginia to that service area and says funding decisions are made twice yearly. The program language also specifies public safety support for equipment and training for fire and police personnel. Faith-based projects are included in all three program descriptions, alongside broader community-serving work. Together, the program descriptions show a local community orientation rather than a single-issue strategy, with multiple county-based service areas and repeated emphasis on direct benefit to residents.

How Robert and Frances Chaney Family Foundation Gives

The recorded grant sizes are tightly clustered: p25 is $355,904, median is $359,794, and p75 is $363,685. That narrow spread suggests a highly uniform award pattern among the recent large grants on file. The foundation’s public program descriptions also show a recurring cycle, with funding decisions made twice yearly or in spring and fall cycles. All recorded recent grants in the data are to U.S. recipients, and the grant listings place every award in Jacksonville, Oregon. The foundation is identified as a private family foundation and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
