The Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy

Over the past 70 years, the Aspen Institute has tackled the world’s greatest challenges by reaching across communities, sectors, and differing points of view to bring together thinkers and doers committed to solving problems.

Growing economic inequality and exclusion is one of the defining threats of our time, and we need to make progress.
— Dan Porterfield, President and CEO of the Aspen Institute

The Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy seeks to combat this threat and build an economy that enables people and communities around the world to thrive. Powered by an anchor investment of $26 million from the MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth, the Partnership combines the ideas, talents and resources of the public, private and nonprofit sectors to address economic inequality around the world.

Together, we aim to drive change at scale and address one of the most pressing and complex challenges of our time. More.
