Empowering Catholic Evangelization Across the Globe

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.

To those who feel powerless, who, like St. Thérèse could not perform great works or deeds, it serves as a reminder that little things – a flower, a smile, a sacrifice – are what keeps the Kingdom of God growing.
