Trump Accounts, newly launched under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, are child-focused investment vehicles funded by after-tax contributions from family and pre-tax contributions from employers or the government, with funds accessible at age 18 for education, home purchases, or other uses (subject to penalties). Children born between 20252028 receive a $1,000 federal seed grant, potentially growing to nearly $4,000 by age 18, while others may qualify for $250 from the Dell Foundation or Micron, depending on income and location. Though similar to existing options like 529 plans, the accounts offer unique public and corporate incentives worth considering.
