Regional Event in Connecticut, Greater New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia Metropolitan Area

Innovations in Baby Bonds

In partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and the Institute on Race, Power, and Political Economy at The New School, AFN presents this in-person event highlighting how strategic investments in baby bonds, combined with direct financial assistance, can address wealth inequality.

Baby bonds are an innovative policy tool that provides children with publicly funded investment accounts that can be accessed at age 18 for specific uses, including education, homeownership, small business, and retirement. The funds are intended as a long-term investment designed to narrow the wealth gap and address generational poverty. California, Connecticut, and Washington, D.C. have passed baby bonds legislation.

This event will be of interest to researchers, nonprofit leaders, and policymakers.

In-person registration closes on Tuesday, January 14, 2025.
