Why Baby Bonds?

  • A more racially just and equitable economy, wherein people of color enjoy the same economic benefits afforded to people with the typical white experience

  • Greater rates of homeownership, new businesses, and educational attainment for people whose parents could not afford the supports that typically lead to these outcomes

  • Break common intergenerational cycles of poverty — a feeling of growing up with a real and reasonable sense that the future could be good: hope
