He has supported a wide variety of academic, community and public policy initiatives for more than 55 years, with a special focus on principles and policies that enable people to improve their lives. This interest led him to found or help build organizations such as Stand Together, the Institute for Humane Studies, Cato Institute, Mercatus Center at George Mason University, Youth Entrepreneurs, Bill of Rights Institute, Market-Based Management INstitute, Charles Koch Foundation and Charles Koch Institute. In recognition of Mr. Koch's business leadership and community involvement, he has received numerous honors and awards, including three honorary doctorates.
