The Robert F Orr Charitable Foundation concentrates its philanthropy on local youth-focused charitable support, directing all recorded giving to a single youth services organization. Grants are sizable and targeted, suggesting a strong preference for sustaining a specific community-facing program rather than broad, diversified funding. The foundation appears to prioritize direct charitable impact in its immediate geographic area through repeat support of a trusted youth-service partner.
Robert F Orr Charitable Foundation’s record is defined by concentrated support for youth-serving charities and a small set of recurring nonprofit partners. The largest recent grant in the data is $300,000 to Boys and Girls Club of Magic in Twin Falls, Idaho, followed by a $110,000 grant to the same organization in 2025. That repeated support points to a clear preference for sustained, program-centered philanthropy rather than broad one-off giving. The foundation also appears to back education and community institutions with multi-year gifts. Waterford School in Sandy, Utah received $50,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025, while Utah State University and the University of Utah each appear more than once in the recent grants list. In addition to youth development and education, the portfolio includes grants tied to health and community needs, such as support for Huntsman Cancer Foundation and Shriners Hospital for Children. Across the available record, the foundation gives through repeated charitable grants to organizations in Utah, Idaho, and Hawaii, with a profile that suggests direct support for specific institutions rather than a wide thematic sweep.
Youth development is a core thread in the record. The foundation gave $300,000 in 2023 and $110,000 in 2025 to Boys and Girls Club of Magic in Twin Falls for charitable support, indicating a durable relationship with a youth services provider. Education is another visible area. Waterford School in Sandy received $50,000 in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Utah State University received $25,000 in 2023, 2024, and 2025. The foundation also supports health-related causes. In 2025, it gave $20,000 to Huntsman Cancer Foundation for cancer research and $20,000 to Shriners Hospital for Children for medical assistance. Community and public-benefit work appears as well, including grants to Magic Valley Area Humanitarian Center in Rupert and Idaho Rivers United in Boise.
Typical grants are in the mid-thousands: the 25th percentile is $6,212, the median is $10,000, and the 75th percentile is $20,000. The recent record includes both smaller educational gifts and larger anchor grants, with the top end reaching $300,000. The same recipients appear across multiple years, including Boys and Girls Club of Magic, Waterford School, Utah State University, University of Utah, and Idaho Rivers United, which points to recurring rather than purely one-time support. The foundation also funds individuals, and it makes no program-related investments. The pattern is charitable grantmaking through direct gifts rather than PRI activity.
