Think Tank Gains Funding and Staff from Heritage Foundation
A conservative research organization has received new funding and hired staff who left another think tank. The group seeks to increase its role among Republican policy circles.
theregister.comA Washington-based conservative think tank has expanded its staff and budget after several employees departed from the Heritage Foundation late last year. The organization, Advancing American Freedom, is located near Union Station. It has positioned itself as an alternative for policy work within Republican circles.
Multiple veteran staff members from the Heritage Foundation joined the newer group following internal disputes at their former employer. The organization also secured additional financial support. These moves come as the group attempts to broaden its influence on policy discussions.
The Heritage Foundation maintains its headquarters in a building near Union Station. Its name appears on the building facade. Advancing American Freedom operates as a newer entity in the same policy environment. The organization continues to recruit personnel and resources.
