# Koch Inc 10M to AFP Action **[[AFP Action]]** (FEC committee **C00687103**, filed as *Americans for Prosperity Action, Inc., dba CVA Action and dba Libre Action*) itemised **$10,000,000.00** from **"KOCH INC."** of 4111 East 37th Street North, Suite D101, Wichita KS on its September 2026 monthly report — file **2033499**, received 2026-10-20, contribution date **2026-09-14**. That Wichita address is the headquarters of **[[Koch Industries]]**, which now trades as Koch Inc. The check is therefore the family conglomerate itself, not a foundation, a social-welfare arm or an individual. ## Terms | Item | Detail | |---|---| | Payer | **"KOCH INC."** — corporate entity, 4111 E 37th St N Ste D101, Wichita KS 67220 | | Recipient | **AFP Action**, FEC **C00687103**, the Koch network's independent-expenditure committee | | Row | `SA17` — **$10,000,000.00**, dated **2026-09-14** | | Line | **Line 17, Other Federal Receipts** — not an itemised individual contribution | | Disclosed | FEC Form 3X, September 2026, file **2033499** | ### The committee's month | Line | Figure | |---|---| | Cash on hand, 2026-09-01 | $54,396,352.00 | | Total receipts | **$13,046,011.13** | | Total disbursements | $27,885,410.78 | | Cash on hand, 2026-09-30 | **$39,556,952.35** | **The corporate check is 76.65% of the month's income.** AFP Action spent more than twice what it took in during September and still closed with nearly $40 million in hand. > [!note] Reading the line number > This is a **Line 17** receipt, which is where a committee books money that is not an itemised > contribution to its federal account. A page should not describe it as a "contribution" without that > qualification. What it unambiguously is: $10 million of corporate money, named, dated and public. ## Why it matters **It is the clearest single-document link between the operating company and the political committee.** The Koch political apparatus is usually described through its layers — [[Americans for Prosperity]] as the grassroots arm, [[Stand Together]] as the philanthropic hub, AFP Action as the electoral vehicle. This row skips the layers: the conglomerate's own name, on the committee's own report, for eight figures. **It arrives alongside a very large spending programme.** The same September report carries $25.2 million of Schedule E independent expenditure, almost all of which restates buys the committee had already disclosed on 24- and 48-hour notices during the month, so it is not new spending on top — but it is the scale the $10 million is feeding. **It is the second time this funding route has surfaced here.** This site has carried an unresolved reference to roughly $56.5 million moving from Koch entities into AFP Action earlier in the cycle; this is the first row of that family traced to a specific document, date and amount. ## Open questions - The rest of the cycle's Koch-entity money into AFP Action, which earlier reports should carry. - Whether Stand Together or any Koch foundation appears on a federal report this cycle. - Where AFP Action's remaining $39.6 million goes before 2026-11-03. ## See Also - [[Koch Industries]] · [[Charles Koch]] · [[AFP Action]] - [[Americans for Prosperity]] · [[Stand Together]] - [[Dark Money]] · [[Super PACs]] · [[501(c)(4)]] · [[Independent Expenditure]] - [[Donor Network Hub]] · [[Deals Hub]] · [[2026 Midterms Hub]]
