Gibbs' 2022 Koch Foundation Scholarship Winners

Gibbs Die Casting Corporation’s parent company, Koch Enterprise Inc., supports numerous people and community organizations through financial grants in the areas of education, arts, health care, and human services for people in need through no fault of their own.  The Koch Foundation is a vehicle that helps accomplish this.

The Foundation also funds the Robert L. Koch, Mary L. Koch, and Louis J.
