UnKoch My Campus

What UnKoch My Campus does

UnKoch My Campus is a U.S.-based nonprofit advocacy and research organization founded in 2014 and operating as a fiscally sponsored project of Generation Common Good, a 501(c)(3) that provides administrative and donation-processing infrastructure. The organization investigates and campaigns against undue influence by the Koch donor network on colleges and universities, publishing investigative reports, donor agreement documentation, and model policies designed to protect academic freedom and faculty governance. Its core products include the Koch Campus Funding Report (documenting over $458 million in Koch grants to 500+ institutions since 2005), a Koch Agreements Database covering 25+ universities, activist training webinars, faculty resistance resources, election scorecards, and topical reports spanning K-12 education, climate, courts, anti-CRT legislation, the January 6th insurrection, and academic white supremacist networks.

The organization runs a community-led go-to-market model, relying on grassroots organizing across student activists, faculty, and local stakeholders rather than a traditional sales or product-led motion. All reports, model policies, and training resources are distributed free of charge via the unKochmycampus.org website, with grassroots engagement coordinated through ActionNetwork and email newsletters, and donation processing handled through ActBlue under the fiscal sponsor's account. There is no underlying proprietary technology platform; the "platform" is essentially an investigative reporting function paired with a website (hosted on Squarespace) and a document library.

UnKoch My Campus has no paying customers, no disclosed revenue, and a donations-only revenue model. It serves students, faculty, university administrators, and voters/electoral advocates, with primary segments being student activists and faculty concerned about donor interference. The organization has 1-10 employees, is headquartered in the Washington, DC metro area (6955 Willow Street, P.O. Box 142, Washington, DC 20012), and operates across multiple U.S. states with documented case studies in Virginia, Florida, Utah, and elsewhere. It has been cited by major national outlets including the Washington Post, New York Times, BuzzFeed, and Inside Higher Ed.
