Formerly called Charles Koch Foundation?

The sidebar lists this organization as formerly the "Charles Koch Foundation" and "Cato Foundation," but the article states, "The institute was founded in January 1977 in San Francisco, California; named at the suggestion of cofounder Murray Rothbard after Cato's Letters …"

If these were indeed earlier names, then an explanation should be given under "History" with a citation. A.T.S. in Texas (talk) 23:01, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
