The billionaire industrialist Koch brothers, known best for shepherding big money to conservative causes and candidates, have given a $25 million grant to the United Negro College Fund, the organization announced Friday.
The money will come from Koch Industries Inc. and the Charles Koch Foundation, which are headed by the brothers. Most of the money ($18.5 million) will go toward a scholarship program. The other $6.5 million is provided for general support to historically black colleges and universities and the UNCF, with $4 million set aside for loan assistance.
The UNCF is the nation's largest minority education group.
Such a highly-publicized gift is unusual for Charles Koch. His foundation routinely gives away lots of money, but typically with little fanfare.
"Increasing well-being by helping people improve their lives has long been our focus," Charles Koch said in a statement.

Just showin’ off their white privilege again. I’ll bet hairy screed can still find something offensive to say. :>}
How racist of them.
Because $25 million dollars is a terrible thing to waste?
They are not playing right.
Libs are gonna be pissed.
What a terrible thing to have lost one’s mind. Or not to have a mind at all. How true that is.
How much have they given to the honky fund? Diversity!
I wonder what the response would be if an organization said they would only give tuition aid to white kids. Oh, nevermind, I know what the response would be.
A mind is a terrible thing.
I’m concerned that they might think this will appease the left.
It will not.
sad, to give money to those who hate you, when so many on our side could use help.
WAYSIS
I hope it was turned down. Wouldn’t want dirty money from filthy conservatives./s
.
A \It still won’t make them like them.
A lot of money is a terrible thing to waste.
“Such a highly-publicized gift is unusual for Charles Koch. His foundation routinely gives away lots of money, but typically with little fanfare.”
Of course they think so (and of course it won’t). I hope he gets millions of requests from gibsmedat programs now; this gift excludes white people.
Is this a fund that helps grow knees? Whats a ‘Negro’? /sc
So the ‘racist’ Koch’s donate to a fund with a ‘racist’ name.
Yeh thats how some twisted lieberal minds will spin it. Just read the comments over at the WaPo. Demented leftists...
I hope they are doing it from the good of their hearts, because it won’t make a damn bit of difference to their detractors.
Or, the creepy ass cracka fund.
You can bet dang sure Sherlock that the UNCF will NOT reject the Koch donation from some lofty leftist pedestal of principle. They might despise Koch bros. regardless but they loves their money just the same.
