Name Commonly Shared by Heritage, Hobby Lobby Executives

A social media post claimed that the owner of Hobby Lobby, David Green, is also the finance director of the Heritage Foundation, urging action against them. However, this claim is false as there are two different men named David Green in these positions. The David Green at Hobby Lobby is known for supporting conservative causes, but he no longer owns the company and has never been employed by the Heritage Foundation. The post’s assertion linking the Heritage Foundation to Project 2025 is accurate, as the foundation was involved in developing the playbook for the incoming Republican presidential administration. The misinformation was debunked by fact-checkers such as PolitiFact and Reuters. Details such as photographs, resumes, and biographical information clearly distinguish between the two individuals. Hobby Lobby’s David Green founded the company in 1970 and announced in 2022 that he had given away ownership to support Christian causes. The Heritage Foundation’s David Green has a background in finance, having worked for banks, auditing firms, and nonprofits. Despite the social media post’s claims, there is no connection between the two men beyond sharing the same name.
