The family is the cornerstone of a healthy and flourishing society. Yet today, the natural family—built on marriage, faithfulness, and responsibility—is under relentless cultural and political attack. Rising costs of living, declining birthrates, and ideologies that distort human nature have made family formation harder than ever. At the same time, institutions that once supported families—schools, churches, and civic organizations—are weakening, leaving parents to navigate a hostile environment alone.

Heritage is committed to restoring the family as the foundation of American life. We champion a culture that celebrates marriage and childbearing, protects parental rights, and shields children from harmful ideas and influences. We advocate for policies that respect the rights and duties of mothers and fathers, promote educational freedom, and strengthen the bonds between generations.

A thriving America begins with strong families. By advancing a vision rooted in virtue, faith, and freedom, we seek to ensure that every family can raise children in peace and security, supported by law and encouraged by society.
