A major philanthropic contribution of $6.25 billion from Michael and Susan Dell has become the largest private gift yet to support President Donald Trump’s “Accounts for America’s Children” initiative — a national effort aimed at expanding financial security and long-term savings opportunities for young Americans.

The Dells, known for their extensive charitable work in education, child welfare, and economic mobility, announced a landmark donation that will help jump-start the early rollout of the program. While the exact amount has not been publicly disclosed, officials described it as a “historic and transformative gift” that will accelerate the development of savings accounts intended to give every child a stronger financial foundation for the future.

The initiative seeks to create federally backed accounts for children, allowing families to build long-term savings dedicated to education, home ownership, entrepreneurship, and wealth-building. Supporters say the plan could help millions of families — particularly low- and middle-income households — begin investing in their children’s futures earlier and more effectively.

In a statement, the Dells said their donation reflects their commitment to expanding opportunity for children nationwide. “We believe every child should have the tools and financial footing to pursue their dreams,” they said, calling the initiative a rare chance to make generational change.

The contribution marks one of the first major private investments in the program and signals growing interest from philanthropic groups and business leaders. The Trump Administration praised the couple’s generosity, saying the support will help ensure the program reaches families more quickly and sustainably.

As implementation begins, officials plan to work with states, financial institutions, and child-advocacy groups to design account access, parental controls, and matching-fund opportunities. More details are expected in the coming months.

For now, the Dells’ gift stands as a defining early moment for the initiative — a sign that some of the country’s most influential philanthropic leaders see long-term value in investing in America’s children.
