The Missouri Conservation Heritage Foundation (MCHF) is devoted to safeguarding and protecting the natural resources of western Missouri. This is accomplished by supporting a wide range of conservation projects, such as clean water, migratory birds, nature camps, veterans, youth and the disabled. However, some challenges are more pronounced in certain areas than others. According to Pew, rural Americans are more likely than urban dwellers to consider access to public transportation a pressing issue (43 percent).
Both of these issues can limit access to a variety of educational opportunities. In a report entitled The Laws on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) are not fair to all, a Heritage fellow states that SOGI laws aim to compel all Americans to adopt (and live) certain beliefs about human sexuality. Through last year's ComoGives campaign, the MCHF raised funds for supplies for the Boone County Nature School. The estate administrator, Hans von Spakovsky, a conservative lawyer, held private meetings with key state election officials to develop strategies to promote their shared goal of ensuring the integrity of the elections they administer in their home states, ProPublica reported. In a report that followed the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, Heritage states: “The unnecessary tragedy that took place in Uvalde, Texas cannot and will not be included in a convenient political narrative.”The Heritage Foundation has provided funding to the National Policy Council and many of its employees are members.
The MCHF supports a variety of projects, from outdoor recreational activities for youth, veterans and the disabled to endangered species and clean water. Heritage replaced James with the former leader of the Texas Public Policy Foundation, Kevin Roberts, whose objectives align more closely with Trump supporters. But foreign policy analysts at the Heritage Foundation didn't just defend the Reagan Doctrine in Washington. The Foundation wields considerable influence in Washington DC and enjoyed particular prominence during the Reagan administration. The Heritage Foundation has received funding from organizations related to the Koch brothers.
At Heritage, officials categorically deny the allegation that the organization received money from Korean intelligence. On October 11th, the Wall Street Journal attributed an important role in the closure to Michael Needham, of Heritage Action, and stated that, although senators from Texas delivered a series of speeches in which they denounced the denial of climate change by 32 organizations related to fossil fuel interests, including the Heritage Foundation. In recent years, the Heritage Foundation has also received funding from Donors Trust and Donors Capital Fund. Wade, Heritage's Vice President of National Policy, Roger Severino, released a statement in which he said: “The Heritage Foundation applauds dozens of states that are taking steps to protect as many innocent human lives as possible.” Philanthropy further reinforced this trend as large foundations invested heavily in urban charter schools.
