    About Believe in People

    Believe In People Inc concentrates its entire documented giving on a single national advocacy and philanthropic intermediary, directing large, repeated grants to the Stand Together C4 Fund. The pattern suggests the foundation channels its resources into policy, civic engagement, and philanthropic infrastructure through a well‑established national vehicle rather than funding many direct service providers or local nonprofits. This indicates strategic, centralized support for networked advocacy and movement‑building work aligned with the Stand Together ecosystem.

    Focus Areas

    Giving Approach

    About Believe in People

    Believe In People Inc’s documented giving centers on one recipient: the Stand Together C4 Fund in Arlington, Virginia. Across the recent grants on file, every listed award goes to that intermediary for general support, showing a tightly focused grantmaking approach rather than a broad portfolio of direct-service grants. The scale is substantial, with awards ranging from tens of millions to more than $200 million, and the pattern repeats across multiple years from 2023 through 2025. The foundation’s largest recent grant on file is $213,369,822, followed by a $200,104,095 grant and a $163,931,000 grant, all to the same Arlington-based fund. A further $35,000,000 grant in 2023 and a $3,602,000 grant in 2024 continue that same pattern. With leadership listed as Charles Chase Koch serving as director, chairman, and president, the funder appears to operate through a centralized channel that supports policy, civic, and philanthropic infrastructure tied to the Stand Together ecosystem.

    What Believe in People Funds

    The foundation’s documented grantmaking is concentrated in general support to the Stand Together C4 Fund, making national public policy and advocacy its clearest funded area. One of the largest listed awards, $200,104,095 in 2025, went to the Arlington, Virginia intermediary for general support, underscoring a continuing commitment to that vehicle. A second thread is civic engagement. The 2024 grant of $213,369,822 to the same recipient points to support for large-scale organizing and mobilization work carried through a national platform. The remaining grants on file reinforce that same pattern: $163,931,000 in 2024, $35,000,000 in 2023, and $3,602,000 in 2024, all for general support. Together, the grants show a recurring focus on movement-building and philanthropic infrastructure rather than project-specific funding.
