Overview
The Aspen Institute drives change through dialogue, leadership, and action to help solve the greatest challenges of our time. Aspen’s Religion & Society Program specifically seeks to ignite this change through convening, catalyzing, and researching the challenges and opportunities at the convergence of religion, culture, and justice. This grant supports the Antisemitism x Democracy Project in Aspen's Religion & Society Program. Led by Amy Spitalnick, the project seeks to better understand the current landscape on antisemitism in the United States; convene experts, leaders, and activists to break down silos in this space and explore best practices with the intent to scale; and help reframe the conversation through deliberate public affairs work that places the fight against antisemitism squarely in the broader fight for our democracy.

Grants to this Grantee
for India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change
The Aspen Institute, in partnership with Ananta Aspen Centre in India, manages the India-U.S. Track II Dialogue on Energy and Climate Change. This sponsorship grant helped the institute assemble a group of experts from government, NGOs, academia, and the business community to help define a constructive bilateral agenda on critical energy and climate concerns. The Track II Dialogue aims to foster trust and cooperation, and uses targeted analyses to suggest concrete pathways for collaboration between the governments and relevant subnational and nonstate actors.

for the project Advancing a New Paradigm for Public Education
The Aspen Institute is a nonpartisan forum for values-based leadership and the exchange of ideas. Its Education & Society Program seeks to improve public education outcomes by informing, influencing, and inspiring education leaders across policy and practice, with an emphasis on achieving equity for students of color and students from low-income families. The Aspen Institute asserts that in today’s complex educational landscape, the country lacks a unifying vision for its public schools. This grant supports a series of exploratory conversations to reconceptualize public education’s purpose, discuss plausible definitions of success, and consider the measures of progress that would accompany a new paradigm for public education.
