The Koch Foundation funds in five areas to promote evangelization of the Catholic faith:
Direct Evangelization
The mission to proclaim the Gospel, which comes from a life-giving encounter with Christ and his Church, is provided by countless men and women who have dedicated their lives to sharing Christ with others. The Koch Foundation funds Direct Evangelization programs and religious activities which directly support, strengthen or spread the teaching of the Catholic faith.
Preparation of Evangelists
The Preparation of Evangelists is central to the mission of the Koch Foundation. From education and religious formation of men and women for missionary congregations, to the spiritual development of lay leaders, we assist programs that prepare individuals for the work of teaching, as Jesus taught, and sharing the wisdom of the Catholic faith. Funding is provided to official Catholic organizations only, not to individuals.
Catholic Schools
The Koch Foundation provides funding for Catholic Schools in impoverished areas where the schools are the primary means of evangelization, or for specialized programs that have the potential to provide future Church leaders.
Mass Media
Evangelization is not only the spoken word, but is also given through visual media. The use of Mass Media to carry the Word of God to all parts of the world has grown and has become an integral part of the Koch Foundation's mission. Funding is provided to programs that have developed unique methods of communication as pivotal tools of evangelization efforts to assist others to hear and see the message of the risen Christ.
Capital Expenditures
Part of the mission of the Koch Foundation is to provide financial resources in the form of Capital Expenditures for the development of Catholic organizations in promoting the Catholic faith. Priority is given to financially distressed, underdeveloped areas.
