Project 2025: Full List of Organizations Behind Proposals – Newsweek

More than a hundred conservative organizations contributed to the proposals put forward by Project 2025.

Project 2025, an initiative spearheaded by the conservative Heritage Foundation, has published a 900-page handbook proposing a massive overhaul of the federal government should former president Donald Trump win back the White House in November, including firing thousands of government workers so that Republican loyalists can be installed in their place.

President Joe Biden‘s campaign has called the document “an extreme policy and personnel playbook for Trump’s second term that should scare the hell out of the American people.” Many of the proposed policies are not popular with voters.

Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee, has sought to distance himself from Project 2025.

“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Friday. “I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them.”

However, more than two dozen people who served in Trump’s administration helped craft Project 2025’s policy document.

Project 2025 has said it does not speak for any candidate or campaign.

“We are a coalition of more than 110 conservative groups advocating policy and personnel recommendations for the next conservative president,” a Project 2025 spokesperson previously said in a statement to Newsweek.

“But it is ultimately up to that president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement.”

Project 2025’s website says a coalition of over 100 conservative organizations helped “form the project pillars.” It adds that the “opinions of Project 2025 and The Heritage Foundation do not necessarily represent the opinions of every one of its advisory board partners.”
