About
The Heritage Foundation is a prominent and influential conservative think tank in Washington, D.C., founded in 1973. It promotes free enterprise and traditional values, and is known for shaping Republican policy platforms and agendas, including on foreign affairs with strong support for Israel, supply-side economics, and judicial conservatism. The organization has staffed conservative administrations, such as through Project 2025, and is funded by donors including the Koch brothers, who have provided multi-million dollar grants. Rebekah Mercer has also served on its board.
