The Federal Reserve Banks of Boston and Dallas, the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program, and the Alfond Scholarship Foundation convened practitioners, policymakers, researchers, and philanthropic leaders to examine the impact of early asset-building tools like 529 plans, Children's Savings Accounts, baby bonds, and new 530A Accounts. Sessions covered the current policy environment, implementation lessons from state and community programs, a deep dive on 530A rollout and enrollment trends, and opportunities for multi-sector collaboration to expand participation among lower-income families.
This event was by invitation only.
