        <Explanation>THE LONG-TERM INVESTMENT FUND, CONSISTING OF MULTIPLE FUNDED PROGRAMS, GENERAL BOARD DESIGNATED FUNDS AND OPERATING RESERVES, HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE GROWTH AND OPERATIONS OF THE FOUNDATION. THE INVESTMENTS IN THE FUND WILL BE MADE FOR THE EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT OF THE FOUNDATION. INDIVIDUAL DONOR-RESTRICTED FUNDS WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE TERMS OF THEIR GOVERNING PLAN DOCUMENTS. SEPARATE ACCOUNTING IS MAINTAINED FOR EACH FUND. FUNDS ARE USED ANNUALLY TO SUPPORT PROGRAMS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOUNDATION'S SPENDING POLICY OR AS STIPULATED BY THE DONOR(S). THE LONG-TERM FUND INCLUDES A PERMANENT FUND, ESTABLISHED BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES, WITH THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF LONG-TERM GROWTH OF CAPITAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH DONOR WISHES. THE PERMANENT FUND IS INCLUDED IN THE CALCULATION OF ANNUAL DRAWS USED TO SUPPORT THE OPERATIONS OF THE FOUNDATION.</Explanation>

        <Identifier>DESCRIPTION OF UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS UNDER FIN 48:</Identifier>
        <ReturnReference>PART X:</ReturnReference>
        <Explanation>THE FOUNDATION IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATION EXEMPT FROM FEDERAL INCOME TAXES UNDER SECTION 501(A), AS AN ENTITY DESCRIBED IN SECTION 501(C)(3) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED. THE FOUNDATION HAS BEEN CLASSIFIED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE AS A PUBLIC CHARITY AND IS NOT A PRIVATE FOUNDATION. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE FOUNDATION ARE DEDUCTIBLE FOR FEDERAL INCOME, ESTATE, AND GIFT TAX PURPOSES. INCOME, WHICH IS NOT RELATED TO EXEMPT PURPOSES, IS SUBJECT TO TAX. ON JANUARY 1, 2009, THE FOUNDATION ADOPTED THE ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES, WHICH ADDRESSES THE DETERMINATION OF WHETHER TAX BENEFITS CLAIMED OR EXPECTED TO BE CLAIMED ON A TAX RETURN SHOULD BE RECORDED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. UNDER THIS GUIDANCE, THE FOUNDATION MAY RECOGNIZE THE TAX BENEFIT FROM AN UNCERTAIN TAX POSITION ONLY IF IT IS MORE-LIKELY-THAN-NOT THAT THE TAX POSITION WILL BE SUSTAINED ON EXAMINATION BY TAXING AUTHORITIES, BASED ON THE TECHNICAL MERITS OF THE POSITION. THE TAX BENEFITS RECOGNIZED IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FROM SUCH A POSITION ARE MEASURED BASED ON THE LARGEST BENEFIT THAT HAS A GREATER THAN 50% LIKELIHOOD OF BEING REALIZED UPON ULTIMATE SETTLEMENT. THE GUIDANCE ON ACCOUNTING FOR UNCERTAINTY IN INCOME TAXES ALSO ADDRESSES DE-RECOGNITION, CLASSIFICATION, INTEREST AND PENALTIES ON INCOME TAXES, AND ACCOUNTING IN INTERIM PERIODS. MANAGEMENT EVALUATED THE FOUNDATION'S TAX POSITIONS AND CONCLUDED THAT THE FOUNDATION HAD TAKEN NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENT TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS TO COMPLY WITH THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUIDANCE. WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS, THE FOUNDATION IS NO LONGER SUBJECT TO INCOME TAX EXAMINATIONS BY THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL TAX AUTHORITIES FOR YEARS BEFORE 2007.</Explanation>

        <Explanation>COMPENSATION, INCLUDING SALARIES, BONUSES AND BENEFITS, FOR OUR PRESIDENT, EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT, AND OTHER MEMBERS OF SENIOR MANAGEMENT IS AUTHORIZED BY THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION'S INDEPENDENT BOARD OF TRUSTEES, AND BASED ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE BOARD'S COMPENSATION COMMITTEE. IN 2010, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE WAS COMPRISED OF FIVE INDEPENDENT, VOLUNTEER BOARD MEMBERS WHO WERE NOT, AND HAVE NEVER BEEN, EMPLOYEES OF THE FOUNDATION. IN DEVELOPING ITS RECOMMENDATIONS, THE COMMITTEE CONSIDERS MARKET DATA AND OTHER SALARY AND BENEFIT SURVEY INFORMATION REGARDING THE COMPENSATION OF SIMILARLY SITUATED EXECUTIVES, WHICH IS PREPARED FOR THE COMMITTEE BY AN OUTSIDE COMPENSATION EXPERT. BECAUSE THE MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP SKILLS OF HERITAGE EXECUTIVES HAVE A SIGNIFICANT EFFECT ON THE FOUNDATION'S SUCCESS, A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF CASH COMPENSATION IS IN THE FORM OF A BONUS. BONUSES ARE CONTINGENT ON THE SUCCESS OF THE ORGANIZATION, THE DEPARTMENTS THE EXECUTIVE LEADS, AND THEIR OWN PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENT OF ESTABLISHED GOALS. GOALS ARE REVIEWED MID-YEAR AND ANNUALLY AND QUARTERLY REPORTS OF FOUNDATION ACTIVITIES ARE PROVIDED TO THE BOARD. IN CONSIDERING AND APPROVING TOTAL COMPENSATION FOR 2010, THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE AND THE FULL BOARD OF TRUSTEES ALSO APPROVED BENEFITS PROVIDED UNDER AN EMPLOYER-FUNDED QUALIFIED RETIREMENT PLAN, GROUP HEALTH, LIFE AND LONG-TERM DISABILITY AND LONG-TERM CARE INSURANCE PLANS, AND OTHER BENEFITS.</Explanation>
