Taking a Stand for our Founding Principles

On this July 4th we remember the courage and vision of our founding fathers who wrestled a country from the grasp of tyranny and created a nation that was endowed by its Creator with inalienable rights.

Their example of selfless devotion to the cause of liberty for every American reminds us just how much we have to lose by not preserving our traditional American values.  

For the past 50 years, Heritage has defended America’s founding principles and worked tirelessly to defend the liberties our nation worked so hard to earn. These efforts would not have been possible without the support of our Heritage Legacy Society Members, who by remembering Heritage in their Estate Plans have helped make a difference for the conservative movement and all Americans for generations to come.  

An estate gift to Heritage is a gift to:

  • Keep the sacred fire of liberty burning in American for future generations
  • Take the conservative movement on offense and retake our country from leftists who are redefining America.
  • Serve our military in a meaningful way by promoting sound defense policy and military readiness.
  • Educate our leaders and the next generation about our nation’s founding principles and why they matter.
  • Advocate for American exceptionalism and expose the danger of socialism.
  • Leave your own enduring legacy of freedom for future generations.

Over 2,000 Heritage Legacy Society members have joined the cause of freedom and promoted conservative policy in America.
{{lead.First Name:default=Friend}}, are you ready to take your stand?

If they destroy this country, where will we go? The moon? America is our last hope. If I don’t stand up for freedom, I won’t have fulfilled my mission in life. Remembering Heritage in our living trust is one of the ways I can make this happen.”
