Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.
To make widespread financial security a reality in the United States, we need to empower individuals and communities to create and keep their own wealth.
Disparities exist across race, gender, generations, and geographies. To move families from “getting by” to flourishing requires that we reimagine not only all the types of wealth available, but also all the ways people can grow it. We believe this level of holistic innovation will help build measurable and meaningful wealth for everyone, and especially for households of color and those in the bottom half of the wealth distribution.
What We Do
Aspen FSP works with cross-sector leaders to create and expand pathways for wealth building in three key ways:
Sparking Innovation
We call for greater, more widespread access to assets that generate powerful rates of return for households and move America toward an ownership economy.
Increasing Ownership
We work with innovators in major asset classes to build new ownership models with more on-ramps for participation.
Scaling New Models
We advance emerging solutions that can accelerate our goal to 10x wealth for the households who need it most, and we especially focus on “derisking” the process to make it more effective.
The Wealth Innovation Cohort Fellows are a select group of leaders developing and replicating models to democratize ownership of commercial and mixed-use real estate in communities across America. Each leader has a demonstrated track record of expanding access to real estate ownership in their respective communities and a commitment to radically expanding ownership opportunities for low-wealth and communities across the country.
