2025 Impact Report

With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in July 2025, we leapt into action to help states navigate this new policy environment and preserve benefits access. We convened the Safety Net Response Network, a group of 11 nonprofits helping to deploy innovative civic tech, AI, and other resources to states implementing OBBBA requirements. To date, we’ve connected eight states to technical assistance from these Network partners.

In October, we announced our recommendations for the nation’s first-ever strategy to prevent fraud and scams. The report culminates the deep collaboration of the National Task Force on Fraud and Scam Prevention, which convened 300 experts from over 80 organizations, including consumer groups, law enforcement, government agencies, and corporations. More than 500 people attended the strategy launch event, illustrating the wide network of leaders ready to lend their firepower to stopping scams. 

In 2025, we launched a new project to develop a tool that measures how much wealth households need to thrive. To kick off this work, we partnered with the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston and convened a set of leaders from across academia, think tanks, government, business, philanthropy, and nonprofits to lay the foundation for this measurement.

With the passage of 530A Accounts in 2025, Aspen FSP has served as a trusted convener and thought leader at a critical inflection point for early wealth building policy in the United States. We hosted 11 expert convenings and roundtables to inform the implementation of 530A accounts. We also produced several publications and briefs to educate policymakers, philanthropy, and financial service providers on the design and implementation choices—such as auto-enrollment—that can make these accounts accessible to all families.
