The Henry Crown Fellowship Program of the Aspen Institute aims to develop a new generation of values-centered leaders walking in the footsteps of Henry Crown (1896-1990), a Chicago-based industrialist who exemplified the true meaning of community-spirited leadership in his legendary life and career dedicated to honor, integrity, industry and philanthropy. Henry Crown, as part of his philanthropic pursuits in his days, was said to have given away sums amounting to nine-figures in value even before he turned 79.
