John Locke Foundation
U.S. right (North Carolina free-market conservative/libertarian-leaning)
The John Locke Foundation is a privately funded North Carolina think tank that promotes limited government, lower taxes and free-market policy. Its funding has long been tied to the conservative donor Art Pope's family. Its focus is state policy rather than national politics. I found no recent record in my search that shows how it treats the second Trump administration, so the 'mixed' label is a cautious placeholder, not a verified finding.
Owned byAn independent nonprofit (501(c)(3)) think tank based in Raleigh, N.C. It has no parent company or owner. A board of directors governs it. It was founded in 1990 with backing from Art Pope, a North Carolina businessman and Republican donor.
