The Maine Heritage Policy Center is a research and educational organization whose mission is to formulate and promote conservative public policies based on the principles of free enterprise; limited, constitutional government; individual freedom; and traditional American values–all for the purpose of providing public policy solutions that benefit the people of Maine.
MHPC’s staff pursues this mission by undertaking accurate and timely research and marketing these findings to its primary audience: the Maine Legislature, nonpartisan Legislative staff, the executive branch, the state’s media, and the broad policy community. MHPC’s products include publications, articles, conferences, and policy briefings.
The Maine Heritage Policy Center researches and formulates innovative and proven conservative public policy solutions for Maine in five key areas:
- Economy/Taxation – The Jackson Center for Prosperity
- Education – The Center for Education Excellence
- Health Care – The Center for Health Reform Initiatives
- Transparency & Open Government – The Center for Open Government
- Constitutional Government – The Center for Constitutional Government
Governed by an independent Board of Directors, The Maine Heritage Policy Center is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, tax-exempt organization. MHPC relies on the generous support from individuals, corporations, and foundations, and does not accept government funds or perform contract work.
