	Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation
		David and Charles Koch, sons of the ultraconservative founder of Koch Industries, Fred Koch, direct the three Koch family foundations: the Charles G. Koch Foundation, the David H. Koch Charitable Foundation, and the Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation.
		Charles Koch is a board member at the Mercatus Center, which describes itself as a "research and education center [that] generates knowledge and understanding of how institutions affect the freedom to prosper and holds organizations accountable for their impact on that freedom."
		The brothers have a strong interest in libertarian theory; the three family foundations operated by the Kochs (the Charles G. Koch, David H. Koch and Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundations) made possible the libertarian Cato Institute and Citizens for a Sound Economy ($6.5 million and $4.8 million contributed between 1986 and 1990, respectively).

	Funding Conservative Institutions
		These foundation gifts are remarkable for two principal reasons:first, their sheer size and concentration; second, the willingness of the foundations to promote a highly politicized agenda by funding a broad range of organizations.
		In light of the Coors family and foundation's continuing support for right-wing, anti-gay, anti-labor and anti-civil rights organizations, it is likely that the domestic-partner policy is more reflective of an effort to appeal to a particular segment of the beer-drinking market than of a change of heart on gay rights issues.
		Among these is the Smith Richardson Foundation, often referred to as one of the "four sisters" of conservative foundations for its tendency to fund in concert with the Olin, Sarah Scaife and Bradley foundations.

	Have A Koch And A Smile
		David Koch, Charles' brother, founded the Cato Institute in 1977 and was a presidential candidate in 1980 as a Libertarian.
		With the backing of one of the wealthiest families in America, Koch Family Foundations provides funding to several think tanks similar to Cato, each of which "nobly" crusades for the rights of the "oppressed" upper class and fights for the freedom of corporate America.
		Charles Koch is indeed an "American success story" by the measure of those who still believe in the real American Way, which is the suffering of the many for the pleasure of the few.

		"Koch Industries could be the biggest oil company you have never heard of — unless, that is, you hang around the halls of Congress," investigator Bob Williams wrote in a report for the Center for Public Integrity.
		As in commerce, Koch "prefers to operate in private when it comes to politics and government," according to the report for the private, nonpartisan government watchdog organization.
		For instance, the Koch foundations give to groups that research and advocate "anti-environmental regulations" that could help their business, he said.

	FOUNDATION & EMPIRE 3 : donors
		Koch companies engage in many charitable activities, giving their time, talent and financial support to add value to their communities and help others help themselves.
		Accordingly, the general purpose of the John M. Olin Foundation is to provide support for projects that reflect or are intended to strengthen the economic, political and cultural institutions upon which the American heritage of constitutional government and private enterprise is based.
		The Foundation also seeks to promote a general understanding of these institutions by encouraging the thoughtful study of the connections between economic and political freedoms, and the cultural heritage that sustains them.

	Caro's Commentaries 11/3/04 - WHAT’S NEXT?
		What I discovered is that starting in the early 1970s, a few wealthy families with right-wing political views began funding organizations and media outlets to promote their beliefs.
		For example, "The Sarah Scaife Foundation is one of several Scaife Mellon family foundations, including the Carthage Foundation (10th largest) and the Scaife Family Foundation (19th largest), as well as the Allegheny Foundation (46th largest).
		Notably, the leading family members who direct foundations also serve on the boards of various nonprofits to which their foundations often provide grants," implying a well-connected and like-minded group of people who share a single agenda and the resources to shape public policy in its political direction.

		The right-wing foundations have both bankrolled and directed a far-reaching movement, the goal of which is the privatization of most government services, the deregulation of industry, the dismantling of government-funded social welfare programs, and the rollback of progressive gains won by the labor, civil rights and women's movements since the days of the Great Depression.
		Describing their target as the "Regulatory Welfare State," these foundations reject the ideas that there should be any restrictions on the pursuit of private profit, or that people are "entitled" to anything from the government other than the services of the police, courts, prisons and military.
		The Koch foundations are based on the family fortunes of David and Charles Koch, who own virtually all of Koch Industries, an oil, natural gas, and land management firm that is the second largest privately owned company in the U.S. The group’s budget increased to over $1 million dollars just eleven months after its founding.

		The liberal John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, which reported assets of $4.2 billion in 2003, made grants of $7.5 million to various liberal media projects, including Public Radio International ($2.5 million), WNET documentary films ($800,000), WGBH documentary film ($400,000), and other TV, documentary, and radio initiatives, according to the foundation's annual report.
		Liberal foundations, on the other hand, tend to limit their donations to specific projects and don't make multiple deposits over the years.
		One subtext of Lapham's essay is that right-wing foundations have corrupted intellectuals and journalists and tarnished the national debate by encouraging them to write what their fascist patrons want to hear.

	Conservative think tanks
		First, the size of their grants: large grants, often in excess of $1 million, are commonplace in conservative circles, while comparatively rare among liberal political groups.
		Second, the nature of their funding strategies:conservative foundations have overt political and ideological agendas and invest comprehensively to promote a given issue on every front.
		In the words of the director of one foundation, the right understands that government policies are based on information from "a conveyer belt from thinkers, academics and activists," and provides funding accordingly.
