FOSTERING THE FUTURE // A Home For Every Child    Every child deserves a safe, stable, and loving home.   HHS’s "A Home for Every Child" initiative is an important step toward increasing the number of foster homes and solidifying support for foster families and caregivers.       Fostering the Future champions this type of advancement: expanding educational opportunity, strengthening financial security, and building a foster care ecosystem where every child can thrive in America. spectrumlocalnews.com/us/snplus/news…

BE BEST // Fostering the Future Accounts cnbc.com/2026/07/10/tru…

Such an honor to be sworn in as the U.S. Special Envoy for Best Future Generations. Together with First Spouses and global leaders, I will work to advance @FLOTUS Melania Trump's Fostering the Future Together Global Initiative — ensuring children everywhere can learn, grow, and thrive safely in the digital world.

THANK YOU, HAWAII // Fostering the Future Accounts   Hawaii has taken an important step forward for children in foster care.   Governor Josh Green, MD, has pledged to support Fostering the Future Accounts.  This program will help children in foster care build a stronger financial foundation as they grow into adulthood.    We salute Governor Green for his leadership and hope every governor across America joins Fostering the Future Accounts so that every child can have a chance for a brighter future.

Thank you @POTUS! I have spent years advocating for financial literacy in our children and the need to understand how money works for them. Wyoming’s foster children deserve nothing less. The @FLOTUS's vision for the financial security of our foster youth reflects Wyoming’s commitment to helping the young people in our foster care system build a strong future. I am working closely with the Wyoming Department of Family Services , to ensure appropriate benefits received by Wyoming youth in foster care are placed in Trump Accounts. @TrumpAccounts @SecScottBessent @USTreasury @FirstLadyOffice

Salute to America’s 250th Birthday with @FLOTUS and @POTUS 🇺🇸 July 4, 2026

Freedom is more than a constitutional principle.    Individual Liberty is the foundation that lets one create, build businesses, challenge convention, and pursue ideas without fear.    Self-determination inspires different thinking.    It’s the same free will our founders fought for in 1776 – and the same natural rights America protects today. Happy 250th birthday, USA!🇺🇸

Thank you, @FLOTUS Melania Trump, for your leadership on this important initiative. In partnership with @ACFHHS, we're giving America's foster youth new opportunities to build brighter futures. With Fostering the Future Accounts, youth in foster care across 23 states will have greater access to savings and investment accounts that help lay the foundation for long-term financial security and independence. Together, we're investing in America's children and empowering the next generation to thrive.

Nearly 600 child welfare leaders. 47 States + DC. One shared goal: expanding opportunities for youth through Fostering the Future Accounts. Following @FLOTUS Melania Trump’s announcement of Fostering the Future Accounts on June 11, leaders from across the country joined a nationwide information session to learn more about new savings and investment Accounts for youth in foster care. Governors from 23 states have pledged to open Accounts, and @ACFHHS and @USTreasury stand ready to support every state and territory in setting up Accounts. The momentum continues.

Fostering the Future Accounts a Watershed Moment for Foster Youth thehill.com/opinion/financ…

More than sympathy, Fostering the Future Accounts offer hope thehill.com/opinion/financ…

Foster children are in all 50 states, but only 23 Governors have pledged to create Fostering the Future Accounts. These accounts help foster youth save and invest, paving the way for financial independence. It's crucial that our Governors protect these vulnerable children, ensuring they have the chance for a secure future. Contact your Governor today and urge them to support Fostering the Future Accounts. Act now.

Ohio is proud to support Fostering the Future Accounts, and we will work to expand this program to help youth in foster care have more opportunities.

“Now is the time for everyone to act. All 50 states should pledge to protect America’s foster youth.  Let’s elevate America’s children above politics. I urge every Governor and business leader in America to help fund these accounts.” First Lady Melania Trump Fostering the Future Accounts June 11, 2026
