Melania Trump unveils a spinoff of Trump Accounts for foster kids
The program gives foster children the same $1,000 Treasury seed deposit and tax-deferred investing available through Trump Accounts.
- On Thursday in Washington, First Lady Melania Trump and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced Fostering the Future Accounts, a new savings vehicle allowing child welfare agencies to open investment accounts for children in foster care.
- This initiative expands President Donald Trump's "big beautiful bill" legislation from last summer, which created tax-deferred Trump Accounts providing $1,000 for eligible children born between 2025 and 2028.
- Federal data indicates more than 400,000 children are in foster care, and the National Foster Youth Institute reports that only half gain employment by age 24.
- Melania Trump said 23 governors have pledged to allow state agencies to begin enrolling children in the program, which opens for contributions on July 4.
- The White House Council of Economic Advisers estimates a Trump Account balance for a baby born in 2026 could reach $5,800 by age 18 and $18,100 by age 28 without additional contributions.
