A social media post claims that the owner of Hobby Lobby, David Green, is also the finance director of the Heritage Foundation. However, this claim is false. While both men are named David Green, they are different individuals with no professional connection. The CEO of Hobby Lobby, David Green, is known for supporting conservative causes, but he is not affiliated with the Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation’s David Green has a background in banking and auditing, graduating from Virginia Tech in 1994. Hobby Lobby’s David Green founded the company in 1970 but announced in 2022 that he no longer owns it, giving away ownership to support Christian causes. The social media post’s link between the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 is accurate, as the foundation was involved in organizing conservative groups for the initiative. PolitiFact and Reuters also debunked the claim. Overall, the post spreading misinformation about the connection between David Green of Hobby Lobby and the Heritage Foundation is incorrect, as the two men are not the same individual and have different professional backgrounds.
