List of contributors to Project 2025
Directed by Heritage Foundation">The Heritage Foundation">Heritage Foundation, the 2025 Presidential Transition Project rests on "four pillars": a policy guide, a "conservative LinkedIn", a "Presidential Administration Academy", and a "playbook". The policy guide has been published in April 2024 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 40 primary authors.
More than 100 organizations, spanning from conservative to far-right, have helped produce the Conservative Promise, and Project 2025 more generally. The policy reforms promoted in it and its digest have gained traction during the 2024 US presidential election. Many collaborators of Donald Trump have been tied to the project.
Background
Trump attended an event for Heritage in Amelia Island, Florida, on April 21, 2022, and praised its forthcoming Project 2025, saying:During his 2024 political campaign Trump faced political pressure for his association with Project 2025; he started to disavow it by July. Soon after, Dans resigned from Project 2025, a symbolic gesture since it published its deliverables, including a database of 10,000 conservative job candidates. Dans later criticized senior advisors Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita for 'historic campaign malpractice'. LaCivita floated the idea that Project 2025 members would be barred from serving in the second Trump administration.
On August 15, 2024, CNN published a video in which British journalists made Russell Vought reveal his policy preparation for a Trump presidency, his views on unitary executive theory, and his Christian nationalism. While still distancing himself from Project 2025, Trump headlined a Moms for Liberty event sponsored by Heritage at the end of August.
Heritage stated that Trump has previously embraced many of the policy recommendations put forward by that organization. Several contributors to the project have held positions in one of Trump's political campaigns or his administrations.
Advisory board
The Conservative Promise has an "Advisory board" section in its front matter. Those featured in the Conservative promise with no collaborator are:Heritage maintained a website from April 2023 to March, 2025. The organizations listed kept changing. The number touted in press releases varied from 21 in June 2022 to more than 100 in February 2024; after Trump's disavowal of Project 2025, many advisory board members were scrubbed from the website, including America First Legal, an organization founded by Stephen Miller.
Authors
The 30 chapters of the Conservative Promise have been authored by 40 people. Many have contributed to chapters they have not authored. The Heritage president wrote the foreword, and one of its co-founders wrote the afterword. Of these authors and editors, the New York Times found that by October 2024, 18 have served in the first Trump administration. The Revolving Door Project counted that 25 of the 30 chapters have been written by former Trump officials. Since then other ties have been found.Organizations marked with a dagger are listed in the "Advisory board" section of the Conservative Promise.
