<div>ABOUT US 
 
The Aspen Institute is a global nonprofit organization whose purpose is to ignite human potential to build understanding and create new possibilities for a better world. Founded in 1949, the Institute drives change through dialogue, leadership, and action to help solve society&rsquo;s greatest challenges. It is headquartered in Washington, DC, and has a campus in Aspen, Colorado, as well as an international network of partners. 
OFFICE OF INSTITUTIONAL ADVANCEMENT 
 
The Institute&rsquo;s Office of Institutional Advancement (OIA) is a central division focused on Institute-wide donor and prospect engagement.
