THE KOCH BROTHERS, GEORGIA-PACIFIC, THE UNITED NEGRO COLLEGE FUND


The two Koch brothers together have a net worth of $100 billion. Koch Industries owns and operates Georgia-Pacific. About three years ago, all of the restrooms at Howard University were overnight retrofitted with Georgia-Pacific products. Howard is the nation’s premiere historically black college/university (HBCU). How many of the other 102 HBCUs made the switch to Georgia-Pacific products in the past five years?

Yesterday it was announced that the Koch brothers made a contribution of $25 million to the United Negro College Fund. Was this motivated by disinterested philanthropy?
