Lessons from SEED: A National Demonstration of Child Development Accounts

Savings accounts that are started when children are born can allow parents to build savings to pay for college, home ownership, and businesses. This report is from the Center for Social Development, the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED), the Initiative on Financial Security at the Aspen Institute, the New America Foundation and the University of Kansas’ School of Social Welfare, and presents results from research on families who participated in child development account pilot programs in 12 states and communities.
