The Hertog Foundation is a private philanthropic 501(c)(3) educational foundation founded by Roger Hertog, an American businessman and conservative philanthropist known for his roles at Sanford C. Bernstein (now AllianceBernstein) and as chairman of the Tikvah Fund. Operating within the network of conservative philanthropy and affiliated with efforts to promote Jewish thought such as the Tikvah Fund, the foundation runs competitive fellowships, seminars, and other programs for college undergraduates, recent graduates, and young professionals on policy, economics, political philosophy, American political thought, foreign policy, and the theory and practice of politics. Its work emphasizes classical education, historical preservation, and rigorous study often underrepresented in traditional university curricula.

Hertog’s programs typically provide stipends, housing, and access to leading teachers and scholars—frequently convening in Washington, DC—to introduce participants to high-level discussions of American politics, civic engagement, and public affairs and to cultivate individuals capable of influencing the intellectual, civic, and political life of the United States. Public records show the foundation made political contributions totaling $78,700 in the 2024 election cycle; it reports no lobbying or outside spending activities.
