About The Grant
Koch Foundation's mission is built on Koch’s vision “to strengthen and propagate the Roman Catholic faith by providing grant support for a wide variety of evangelization efforts." The Koch Foundation is international in scope and prioritizes areas and populations most in need of a Catholic presence.
