The Heritage Foundation unveiled the 2024 recipients of its coveted Innovation Prize, recognizing nine organizations for their contributions to conservative policy priorities.

The winners, honored on Monday at the grand opening of Heritage’s new Barb Van Andel-Gaby Center in Washington, D.C., each received a $100,000 award. They join the ranks of more than a dozen other organizations that have received an Innovation Prize since its 2022 debut.

This year’s winners include the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, American Accountability Foundation, Carolinas Academic Leadership Network, Center for Christian Virtue, The Claremont Institute, The College Fix, Feds for Freedom, Immigration Accountability Project, and the Institute for Family Studies and the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

Heritage’s Innovation Prize, which provides awards totaling up to $1 million annually, supports nonprofits engaged in research, litigation, education, outreach, or communications. This year’s awardees were selected from more than 80 submissions.

“Our nation faces uncertain times, and many are eager to know if patriots in our movement are dedicated to fighting for our great nation,” Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said in a statement. “The answer to that is a resounding yes. Heritage’s Innovation Prize serves as a testament to the relentless efforts and effectiveness of vital organizations within the conservative movement.”
