Millions of Trump Accounts, the new savings accounts for children, will be funded with an initial $1,000 deposit from the U.S. Treasury. So far, nearly three dozen companies and philanthropists have pledged to match that seed money with their own donations.

Experts say savings accounts, along with employer contributions, could help reframe the conversation about saving early for children's futures.

While any child under 18 with a Social Security number can establish the IRA-like savings account, only those born between Jan. 1, 2025, and Dec. 31, 2028, get a $1,000 deposit directly from the government as one-time seed money.

Parents and their employers, family members, friends — really anyone — can contribute up to $2,500 per year, beginning on July 5, with a $5,000 annual cap on contributions.

Charitable organizations and state governments can also make contributions, which do not count against the annual limit. So far, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says 20 U.S. states are working to meet the administration's "50 State Challenge" to help fund the accounts.

Nearly three dozen companies and philanthropists have pledged to match donations. Below is an updated list. Each company's matching contribution may vary.

Altimeter Capital CEO Brad Gerstner said he would donate $250 to each Indiana child under 5 who has a Trump account.

Will matching money initiatives for Trump Accounts truly spark American savings?

Lindsey Stanberry, family financial advisor for Babylist.com, an online resource for growing families, says that Trump Accounts may serve as an opportunity to "shift the conversation" in helping families save for their children's futures as early as possible.

She notes that the employer-matching feature works much like a 401(k) plan.

"Adding the cash incentive could encourage more families to prioritize investing in these accounts," Stanberry said. "While the goal of these accounts is to help build wealth for all American children, ultimately, it will be easier for families who have access to employer matching programs."

She hopes to see "a growing wave of corporate participation," and that employers will support both full-time and hourly employees.

Other child savings accounts to consider

IRAs, 529 plans, and education savings accounts are already options for families to consider, in addition to the new Trump Accounts.

"Trump Accounts and 529 accounts are similar in that the money in them can be used to pay for college, but with a Trump Account, your child could also use the money to buy a home, or they could hold on to it to use in retirement," Stanberry noted.

529 accounts have much higher contribution limits, and investment earnings aren't taxed when used to pay for qualified education expenses. Meanwhile, taxes are paid on the investment earnings in Trump Accounts when you withdraw the money, just as with traditional IRAs.

"I think of these like tools in a toolbox, and you don't have to choose just one," Stanberry added. "Families can open a Trump Account to take advantage of the $1,000 seed money and any employer match while also contributing to a 529 to maximize their child's educational funding."
