The Heritage Foundation is an American conservative think tank; editors have found that it promotes disinformation. Heritage and its then-publication The Daily Signal were found generally unreliable due to the presumption of unreliability for think tanks and reporting such as climate change denial; the 2025 RfC deprecated Heritage. However, The Daily Signal was spun off from the Heritage Foundation in June 2024, and the 2025 RfC close did not address its reliability or functional independence.

The Heritage Foundation (The Daily Signal) WP:HERITAGEFOUNDATIONWP:HERITAGEFOUNDATION 📌		2025	2025	Due to security concerns, The Heritage Foundation is on the Wikipedia spam blacklist: there is evidence that the group has planned to doxx Wikipedia editors, and links to it should be bypassed or whitelisted. Editors who are victimized by doxxing tactics may request assistance from the Wikimedia Foundation, although support is not guaranteed.	1
