MyHeritage.org is the online home for Heritage Foundation members, your resource for conservative ideas and activism tailored to you.

MyHeritage.org allows Heritage to communicate directly with you—and the many others like you who are best able to spread our message.

Every day, we cut through the liberal propaganda and reveal the truth about all the major policy issues. We provide in-depth analysis from Heritage Foundation experts and special fact sheets just for Heritage members and visitors.

But our work doesn’t stop there. We give our members the tools they need to make a persuasive case with the most impact across the nation. Our activist toolkit will help our members spread the Heritage message to every corner of the United States.

Whether it’s budget analysis, a study of the best way to fight crime, or a new approach to free welfare recipients from government dependency, MyHeritage.org will be there to provide Heritage members and the American people with the facts, figures, ideas and strategies to make the crucial difference.

About The Heritage Foundation

As a public policy research organization—a “think tank”—Heritage is a truly unique institution.

Drawing solutions to today’s problems from the ideas, principles and traditions that have made America great, our work has influenced government policy since we opened our doors in 1973.

We believe in

• individual freedom
• free enterprise
• limited government
• a strong national defense
• traditional American values

Our vision is to build an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish. Our proposals build on our country’s economic, political and social heritage to produce a safer, stronger, freer, more prosperous America and a safer, more prosperous, freer world.

We want an America

• that is safe and secure
• where choices (in education, health care and retirement) abound
• where taxes are fair, flat, and comprehensible
• where everybody has the opportunity to go as far as their talents will take them
• where government concentrates on its core functions, recognizes its limits and treats all citizens equally before the law

As conservatives, we believe the values and ideas that motivated our Founding Fathers are worth conserving. And as policy entrepreneurs, we believe the most effective solutions are consistent with those ideas and values.

Our staff of experts has years of experience in business, government and on Capitol Hill. And we don’t just produce research. We produce conservative solutions—and then market them to Congress, the executive branch, the news media and the American people. Our goal is not simply to shape a policy, but to change the national debate.

Your contributions at work

Heritage has been active in nearly every area of American foreign and domestic policy, from welfare reform to missile defense since our founding in 1973. Thanks to you and thousands of supporters nationwide, we’ve seen many of our reforms implemented over time.

But our work never ends and no victory is final. Well-funded liberals in the media and Congress continue to assault our conservative values.

That’s why more than 280,000 individuals like you have joined The Heritage Foundation. Our members stay with us because they share our unswerving commitment to build an America where freedom, opportunity, prosperity and civil society flourish.

If these are your ideals, help make them a reality by joining the most influential conservative organization in America. Your tax-free contribution will help ensure that America’s legacy as a beacon of freedom and opportunity will continue for generations more.
