It focused on providing financial support to conservative policy organizations, think tanks, media projects, and initiatives promoting free-market principles and traditional values. The foundation funded entities such as the Heritage Foundation, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). It ceased grantmaking operations in 2009 and distributed its remaining assets.
