This project was first created by the late Gerard Smith, Jane Wales, and Morton Halperin under the auspices of the Center for Nuclear War Education of the New York and Washington-based Fund for Peace. It was later convened by William Lanouette and Steven Wolf at the Henry L. Stimson Center. In both incarnations, it was supported by the Carnegie Corporation and the W. Alton Jones Foundation.

This undertaking is also carried out under the umbrella of the Aspen Institute, headquartered in Washington, D.C.
