The Heritage Foundation, sometimes referred to simply as Heritage,[1][2] is an activist American conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. Founded in 1973, it took a leading role in the conservative movement in the 1980s during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, whose policies were taken from Heritage Foundation studies, including its Mandate for Leadership.[5]

The Heritage Foundation has had significant influence in U.S. public policy making, and has historically been ranked among the most influential public policy organizations in the United States.[6] In 2010, it founded a sister organization, Heritage Action, an influential activist force in conservative and Republican politics.[7][8][9][10]
