History
The Heritage Foundation, founded in 1973 by Joseph Coors (Coors Brewery), is an American conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C. The foundation took a leading role in the conservative movement during the presidency of Ronald Reagan, whose policies were taken from Heritageās policy study Mandate for Leadership.Ā Ā Heritage has since continued to significantly influence U.S. public policymaking and is considered one of the most influential conservative research organizations in the United States.
The Heritage Foundation has been described as aĀ major influence on theĀ presidential transitionĀ of Donald TrumpĀ and the Trump administration.Ā The foundation had a powerful say in the administrationās staffing, withĀ CNNĀ noting during the transition that āno other Washington institution has that kind of footprint in the transition.ā

The Heritage Foundation has beenĀ criticizedĀ for taking positions that are favorable to the tobacco industry as well as forĀ blocking actionĀ onĀ climate change.
