The Aspen Institute | Artist-Endowed Foundations Initiative | AEFI

The Aspen Institute Artist-Endowed Foundations Initiative | AEFI, established in 2007 as a project of the Institute's Philanthropy and Social Innovation Program | PSI, is a collegial learning community that aims to optimize the AEF charitable impact of private foundations created and endowed by visual artists to use their artworks and rights charitably in art stewardship and cultural philanthropy activities. AEFI fulfills this mission by collaborating with AEF leaders to identify and promulgate effective professional practices through research, publications, professional education, and leadership convenings.  www.aspeninstitute.org/aefi
