Financial Security Program

The Aspen Financial Security program works to ensure that households in America can afford everyday life, save for rainy days, and build enough wealth to achieve their dreams. Because when families are financially stable and secure, they increase their well-being—and that of their communities, too.
The transformational change we seek—to make financial security for all a top national priority—requires innovation, trust, and leadership across all sectors and systems. We help build the relationships and networks that enable this change through deep, deliberate dialogues and evidence-based research.

The Challenge
Widespread financial insecurity is among the most urgent crises facing the United States. Aspen FSP is tackling this crisis head-on.
Of households lack the necessary savings to weather a simultaneous income drop and expense spike.
Of U.S. households have expenses that are equal to or greater than their income.
Together with public, private, nonprofit, and community leaders, we are illuminating and solving the most critical financial challenges facing American households today. Join with us to create paths to prosperity that everyone can access.
Our Priorities
To help people at all income levels achieve financial security, we focus on three key areas.
Financial Stability
Everyone should be able to comfortably afford everyday life and withstand shocks.
Wealth and Ownership
Everyone should be able to save, invest, and own assets that grow in value over time and build long-term financial security.
Financial Systems
Everyone should be able to rely on a well-designed, well-run set of financial products, services, and infrastructure that make their financial lives efficient, seamless, and safe.
