America's 250th birthday brought more than fireworks and patriotic celebrations this year, it marked the official rollout of one of the most significant investments in the next generation of Americans.
Beginning on the Fourth of July, eligible children started receiving the federal government's initial $1,000 investment through the new Trump Accounts program. We strongly support this initiative and encourage every eligible parent to take advantage of this opportunity for their child.
President Donald Trump's vision behind these accounts is simple: give every eligible American child a financial head start and encourage families to begin building long-term wealth from the day a child is born. Rather than expanding another government entitlement, this program invests directly in America's children and promotes personal responsibility, saving, and economic opportunity.
This is exactly the kind of policy that strengthens families and helps parents prepare for their children's future.
For many young families, finding ways to save for college, vocational training, purchasing a first home, or even starting a small business can seem overwhelming. The Trump Account provides every eligible child with a $1,000 investment from the federal government that has years to grow through the power of compound investment.
Parents, grandparents, relatives, employers, and others may also contribute up to $5,000 annually, allowing families to continue building wealth over time. The accounts are invested in low-cost U.S. stock index funds, giving children the opportunity to benefit from America's long-term economic growth.
Who Is Eligible?
Your child generally qualifies if they:
Were born between January 1, 2025, and December 31, 2028.
Are a United States citizen.
Have a valid Social Security number.Â
Eligible children receive the federal government's one-time $1,000 contribution once the account is properly established.
How to Sign Up
The process is straightforward:
Visit TrumpAccounts.gov.
Create your child's Trump Account or follow the online enrollment instructions.
If required, complete IRS Form 4547, which allows parents or guardians to elect the government's $1,000 contribution.
Once the account is established, family members can choose to make additional contributions over time.Â
Some newborns may also be enrolled automatically through the Social Security Administration's birth registration process, but parents should still verify that their child's account has been established and funded.
Every parent wants to provide a better future for their children. A financial investment made at birth has nearly two decades to grow before adulthood, providing opportunities that many previous generations never had.
This program also sends an important message: America believes in its children.
Instead of telling young people what they cannot accomplish, these accounts remind them from birth that they have a stake in America's future and the opportunity to build something of their own through hard work and responsible stewardship.
If your child was born in 2025 or will be born before the end of 2028, we encourage you to enroll as soon as possible.
There is no reason to leave a $1,000 investment on the table that could grow substantially over the course of your child's life. Whether your son or daughter one day uses those funds toward higher education, purchasing a first home, launching a business, or preparing for retirement under the program's rules, this is an opportunity every eligible family should seriously consider.Â
Strong families build strong communities, and strong communities build a stronger America.
