Early Asset Building in 2026: Aligning CSAs, Baby Bonds & 530A Accounts
Prosperity Now Child & Family Support Network Webinar | March 2026

Early asset-building efforts for children and families are expanding across the country. With Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs), Baby Bonds, and Section 530A accounts advancing at the same time, practitioners, policymakers, and partners are navigating how these programs connect—and what it takes to implement them effectively.

In this national webinar, Prosperity Now convenes leaders across research and implementation to explore how early asset-building efforts are taking shape in practice and what is needed to ensure these opportunities work for families.

This conversation covers:
The evolving early asset-building landscape across CSAs, Baby Bonds, and 530A accounts
Implementation insights from organizations working across systems
Messaging, trust, and how families are experiencing these opportunities
Where coordination is needed to align programs and improve access
