Abstract：There is an ageold tradition of donation in American higher education and the foundations are the main educational donators. However, the foundations are not without bias. They usually have their ideological orientation and funding strategies. This is true especially with American conservatism foundations, which are mostly institutions of public relations serving their parent companies and similar ideology. With great financial resources and careful planning, they integrate different social trends, reshape and reform public opinions, and influence the choice of public policies, thus exerting great influence on educational policies and reforms. In order to make American educational policies conservative, the conservatism foundations try to cultivate conservative values and ability to take action through their definite funding strategies. They fund ideological and academic institutions so as to control the public policy discourse; grassroots organizations to develop a network of conservative power; academic projects to dominate the ideological tendency of the knowledge system; scholartraining programs to nurture conservative leadership; and college students to take in new conservative forces.
