Andrew McIndoe is the Vice President of Development for The Heritage Foundation where he leads the organization’s robust fundraising program for 500,000 Heritage members.

McIndoe is responsible for upwards of $130 million of giving activity each year. This includes annual and future support for both The Heritage Foundation and its sister organization, Heritage Action for America (501c4). In this role, he oversees a team of fifty – which includes major gifts officers, portfolio researchers and managers, direct marketing experts, and marketing professionals.

“To walk into Heritage every day and know you’re working at the most effective think tank in the world is awe-inspiring,” says McIndoe. “Donors are the lifeblood of this organization. Our role in the development department is to let our members know how much we appreciate their support – and how their support keeps America free and safe for future generations.”

While at Heritage, McIndoe has earned four promotions over the course of seven years. He first served as the Development Manager and then Development Director for Heritage Action, where he helped grow the organization’s annual revenue from $4 million to over $10 million.

His proven record of success resulted in becoming the youngest senior manager in Heritage’s history in September 2018.

Koch Associate Program, during which he was a Development Associate at The Fund for American Studies before moving on to the Bill of Rights Institute as Development Director. Additionally, Andrew completed internships as Morton Blackwell’s intern at the Leadership Institute and at the Young America’s Foundation Reagan Ranch Center before spending the summer of 2009 as a development intern at The Heritage Foundation.
