They are generous donors to a number of nasty little interest groups, such as these in this representative sampling in this snip from Center for Public Integrity:

The Cato Institute. Charles Koch was a co-founder of this libertarian think tank in 1977. Koch foundations have helped fund Cato since then. David Koch is on the board of directors of Cato.

Tax Foundation. Koch group money rescued this financially-troubled think tank in 1989. Charles Koch received the group's Distinguished Service Award in 2000.

Institute for Justice. Charles Koch provided the seed money to start this libertarian legal foundation in 1991 and the brothers have provided additional funding since then.

Foundation for Research on Economics & the Environment. Koch family foundation money provides significant funding for this group, which holds free seminars for federal judges at its ranch near Big Sky, Mont.

Federalist Society. Koch provides substantial funding to this group which says its purpose is to create a "conservative and libertarian intellectual network that extends to all levels of the legal community."
