The donation, described by Invest America as the largest ever dedicated to U.S. kids, will provide $250 in seed money for roughly 25 million children age 10 and under who were born before 2025 and live in ZIP codes with median incomes below $150,000.
The initiative complements the federal program created under President Donald Trump, which offers $1,000 grants to children born between 2025 and 2028.
$6.25 billion. 25 million children. $250 each.

Susan and I believe the smartest investment we can make is in children. That’s why we’re so excited to contribute $6.25 billion from our charitable funds to help 25 million children start building a strong financial foundation… pic.twitter.com/4Bcv3RKp0q
Parents can begin opening these tax-advantaged accounts on July 4, 2026. The funds must be invested in low-cost U.S. stock-index products.
Dell said the goal is to boost long-term savings habits and allow more families to benefit from stock-market growth.
He expects other philanthropists and corporations to join the effort, calling the program a long-term investment in America’s children.
