With federal, foundation, and state partnerships, kids from birth to 17 now get seed money: $1,000 for those born 2025–2028, $250 for under-11s from the Dell Foundation, and $250 for ages 11–17 thanks to the Ed Freedman Stable Road Foundation. These accounts unlock financial freedom at age 18 — empowering teens to invest in education, business, or homeownership. This isn’t just policy — it’s a powerful promise that every child deserves a future built on financial security.
