What are the Patriot Act/Anti-Terrorism Laws?
A. Koch Foundation, and other charitable foundations and other entities that make charitable contributions or donations are now subject to an array of US based laws designed to prevent the funding of terrorist organizations. Although most of these laws existed in one form or another prior to September 11, 2001, new laws and Presidential Executive Orders since the terrorist attacks have been amended or supplemented the older laws in ways that must be adhered to by charitable foundations, and organizations like the Koch Foundation that are active in USA and international philanthropy.
