==Positions and Policies==
In its four-decade history, the Heritage Foundation has had significant effect on U.S. domestic and foreign policy. According to ''The Atlantic'', "Heritage has shaped American public policy in major ways, from Reagan’s missile-defense initiative to Clinton’s welfare reform: Both originated as Heritage proposals. So, too, did the idea of a universal health-care system based on a mandate that individuals buy insurance. Though Heritage subsequently abandoned it, the individual mandate famously became the basis of health-care reforms proposed by Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama."<ref name="heritage fall">Molly Ball, "[http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/09/the-fall-of-the-heritage-foundation-and-the-death-of-republican-ideas/279955/ The Fall of the Heritage Foundation and the Death of Republican Ideas]," ''The Atlantic'', September 25, 2013.

===Anti-LGBTQ+ Position===
In a report called "Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Laws Are Not Fairness for All", a Heritage fellow says, "SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace-- and live out-- certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to support, facilitate, and endorse such actions." He also says, "[SOGI laws] would penalize many Americans who believe that we are created male and female and that male and female are created for each other."<ref>Ryan Anderson, [https://www.heritage.org/gender/report/sexual-orientation-and-gender-identity-sogi-laws-are-not-fairness-all Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Laws Are Not Fairness for All], "The Heritage Foundation", November 28, 2018.</ref>
===Inventing, then Opposing, the Individual Healthcare Mandate===
In her book ''Practical Progressive: How to Build a 21st Century Political Movement'', political scientist Erica Payne wrote that the Heritage Foundation was also known for the ideas put forth by its foreign policy analysts in the 1980s and early 1990s to provide military and other support to anti-communist resistance movements around the world. The Foundation pushed for this strategy, known as the [[Reagan doctrine]], in [[Afghanistan]], [[Angola]], [[Cambodia]], [[Nicaragua]] and other nations around the world.<ref name="payne">Erica Payne, ''[http://books.google.com/books?id=EW__AgAAQBAJ&pg=PA52&lpg=PA52&dq=The+Practical+Progressive:+How+to+Build+a+21st+Century+Political+Movement&source=bl&ots=2SnMLz2Z0O&sig=fYtWuOJ6wtEAoL-xSUJt_kLFX1k&hl=en&sa=X&ei=W-W6U-zVIsSOyATdzYGADg&ved=0CDIQ6AEwAg#v=snippet&q=heritage&f=false The Practical Progressive: How to Build a 21st Century Political Movement],'' Public Affairs, 2008.</ref>

The Heritage Foundation has received funding from organizations with connections to the [[Koch brothers]]. In 2012, the Heritage Foundation received $650,000 from the [[Claude R. Lambe Foundation]], which was one of the [[Koch Family Foundations]] before it closed in 2013. The Lambe Foundation contributed at least $4.8 million to the Heritage Foundation between 1998 and 2012.
 
According to an investigation in ''The Guardian,'' the Heritage Foundation has accepted donations from Marlboro cigarette manufacture's parent company [[Altria]] "in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016." The Heritage Foundation "has historical and current ties to the tobacco industry, and has fought tobacco tax increases and regulations on vaping." It has taken positions favorable to the tobacco industry as recently as 2018. In 2004, [[Altria]] and Heritage Foundation worked together "to encourage journalists to question the science of secondhand smoke."<ref>Jessica Glenza [https://www.theguardian.com/business/ng-interactive/2019/jan/23/free-market-thinktanks-tobacco-industry Revealed: the free-market groups helping the tobacco industry] ''The Guardian'' Jan 23, 2019</ref>
In recent years, the Heritage Foundation has also received funding from [[Donors Trust]] and [[Donors Capital Fund]], including $53,300 in 2010 and $69,850 in 2012. The [[Koch brothers]] have donated millions of dollars to Donors Trust through the [[Knowledge and Progress Fund]].
In Heritage officials "categorically deny" the accusation that the organization received money from Korean intelligence. In 1995, Heritage's annual report did include a $400,000 grant from the Samsung, a Korean company. The Wall Street Journal also reported that between 1993 and 1996, heritage received almost $1 million from the Korea Foundation, which reportedly "serves as a direct conduit of money from the South Korean government."<ref name="FAIR"/>

[http://rightweb.irc-online.org/index.php Right Web] says of the Heritage Foundation:
 
:"The foundation received $2. 2 million from the Federation of Korean Industries in the early 1980s. Initially it was believed this donation came from the Korean Central Intelligence Agency (which would make the Heritage Foundation a foreign agent of Korea), but the Federation later stated that the donation came at the encouragement of the KCIA."
 
:"The Heritage Foundation's income has increased every year since 1981. The progression has been: 1981--$7. 1 million; 1982-$8. 6 million; 1983--$10. 6 million; 1984--$10. 7 million; 1985-$11. 6 million; 1986--$14. 0 million; 1987--$14. 3 million; and 1988--$14. 6 million. In 1988, foundations provided 38 percent of Heritage's income, individuals provided 34 percent, and corporations gave 17 percent; the remainder came from investments and sales of materials."<ref>Institute for Policy Studies, [http://rightweb.irc-online.org/groupwatch/hf.php Heritage Foundation], ''Right Web'', organizational website, accessed June 2004.</ref>
