Koch Family Network Donates $60 Million to Elizabeth Koch's Nonprofit
-
Elizabeth Koch, daughter of billionaire GOP donor Charles Koch, received $60M tax-free for her nonprofit Unlikely Collaborators from the Koch family network.
-
The money came from a Koch-affiliated entity called Unlikely Giving, which was previously named Zero Zero One and donated to other Koch groups.
-
Unlikely Collaborators aims to fund mental health initiatives and Koch's "perception boxes" workshops, but gave out under $600K in grants last year.
-
An expert said it "raises eyebrows" that the Koch network donated so much tax-free money to a family member's project.
-
The NYT profiled Unlikely Collaborators positively, but included cringey anecdotes like Koch asking the reporter "who he was trying to please" and declining to state her inheritance.
