List of contributors to Project 2025

Directed by the Heritage Foundation, the 2025 Presidential Transition Project (or Project 2025) rests on "four pillars": a policy guide, a "conservative LinkedIn", a "Presidential Administration Academy", [1] and a "playbook".[2] The policy guide has been published as a volume of the Mandate for Leadership series, under the name The Conservative Promise. Edited by Paul Dans and Steven Groves, the more than 900-page volume features 30 chapters written by 35 primary authors.[3]

More than 100 organizations, spanning from conservative to far-right,[4] have helped produce the Mandate for Leadership, and Project 2025 more generally.[5] The policy reforms promoted in guide and its digest has gained traction during the 2024 US presidential election.[6] Many Trump collaborators to have been tied to the project.[7][8]

Background

[edit]

Although Donald Trump has attempted to distance himself from Project 2025,[9][10][11][12][13][14] a number of contributors to the project have held positions one of his Trump's political campaign(s) or his administration(s).[15] The Heritage Foundation states that Trump has previously embraced many of the policy recommendations put forward by that organization.

Advisory board

[edit]

Heritage touted that more than 100 organizations collaborated to Project 2025. The main ones have been listed in the section "Advisory board".[16] Affiliated organizations that are listed in the Project 2025 advisory board are marked with a dagger (†).
