THE KOCH FOUNDATION

In 1979, the Koch Foundation was established by Carl and Paula Koch to fund evangelization activities of the Roman Catholic faith throughout the world. At that time, the Foundation was relatively small with market value assets of $6,914,090. Since then, it has become one of the largest Catholic foundations in the United States... The Koch Foundation was established in February 1979, by Carl and Paula Koch. Carl Koch believed he was "just a steward of the finances given by God to use on His behalf." This belief inspired the commitment he and his wife made to establish the Foundation. The Koch Foundation continues to fulfill Carl Koch's belief of supporting evangelization of the Catholic faith worldwide... Our mission is built on the Koch's vision "to strengthen and propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization efforts."
