Rich Fink; Mercatus Center; Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation; Koch Industries lobbying; overlap between for-profit and nonprofit organizations connected to Koch Industries

The many hats that Rich Fink wore only underscored critics' concerns. As he grew in importance to Charles Koch, Fink relinquished his formal role at the Mercatus Center, handling its stewardship off to a protege, and joined Koch Industries as its head of lobbying but remained on the university's prestigious Board of Visitors. He also was at one point the president of the Charles G. Koch Charitable Foundation, the president of the Claude R. Lambe Charitable Foundation, a director of the Fred C. and Mary R. Koch Foundation, and an integral member of several of the Kochs' political groups. The fungibility of his roles hinted at the fine line between nonprofit and for-profit pursuits with the Kochs' enterprise. (184-185)
