Heritage Action for America is the 501(c)(4) lobbying and grassroots advocacy arm of the [[Heritage Foundation]], founded in 2010 to translate Heritage's policy research into direct legislative pressure. Operating as a [[Dark Money]] organization that does not disclose its donors, Heritage Action has been instrumental in pressuring Republican lawmakers to adopt hardline conservative positions, maintaining a congressional scorecard that enforces ideological discipline. It played a key role in promoting [[Project 2025]] policy proposals and mobilizing grassroots support for the Trump legislative agenda. ## See Also - [[Heritage Foundation]] — the parent institution - [[Sentinel Action Fund]] — the super PAC founded out of Heritage Action, run by its former executive director - [[Jessica Anderson]] — executive director 2018–2023, now president of Sentinel - [[Project 2025]] — the transition project it mobilized for - [[Dark Money]] — the disclosure regime it operates inside
