Aspen Policy Academy

Increasing Organizational Potential for Impact


Are you a policy expert? Find out how to get involved

The Academy helps funders and nonprofits expand their potential for impact by training them on how to engage with policy. Through policy training bootcamps for nonprofit professionals, webinars, and other trainings, the Academy helps nonprofits navigate policy in a new landscape, where the Supreme Court has dramatically changed how governments regulate policy. It also helps funders understand when policy is a useful lever of change – and how to deploy it.
