BREAKING NEWS!
NEW KOCH FUNDING REPORT LAUNCHED INCREASED FUNDING, INCREASED INFLUENCE: KOCH UNIVERSITY FUNDING UPDATE2005-2019
CHARLES KOCH, CEO OF KOCH INDUSTRIES, HAS OVERSEEN OVER $458 MILLION IN GRANTS TO OVER 550 UNIVERSITIES AND HIGHER ED ADJACENT NON-PROFITS SINCE 2005. Unlike other philanthropists backing higher education, Koch gives to schools with the explicit goal of creating intellectual fodder for his network of political interest groups, and recruiting and training students to integrate into that network. Using recently released tax records, we discovered that IN 2019, KOCH UNIVERSITY FUNDING TOTALED $112,044,071. This is an increase of $23.9 million from 2018. It’s the second year in a row that Koch outspent its previous annual total by over $20 million. This one-year total is over a hundred million dollars more than Koch foundations spent annually on universities a decade ago, at $10.5 million in 2009. George Mason University (GMU) in Virginia continues to eclipse all other schools that Koch funds. GMU, and the two Koch-controlled political organizations that are formally affiliated with GMU, the Mercatus Center and the Institute for Humane Studies (IHS), received a combined $23.4 million in 2019. GMU, MERCATUS, AND THE IHS HAVE RECEIVED $179 MILLION FROM CHARLES KOCH’S FOUNDATIONS since 2005. This represents about 40% of Koch’s total $458.4 million in expenditures at over 500 college and university campuses and programssince 2005.
