There have also been a couple of announced qualified general contributions, um, the most famous being the, the Dell family.
Ben Henry-MorelandGUEST
7:36
The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation announced that they would be contributing, uh, $250 to Trump accounts for everyone born between, I believe, 2016 and 2024.
Ben Henry-MorelandGUEST

There have been some matching contributions to that for children specifically in, in Connecticut and Indiana, I believe.
Ben Henry-MorelandGUEST

Ben Henry-MorelandGUEST
11:19
It's not actually that different or less onerous than the process that, as it was before.
Ben Henry-MorelandGUEST
11:27
The difference here, I think, is that, so these accounts that are, are sort of open but not claimed yet, they can receive qualified general contributions.
Ben Henry-MorelandGUEST
11:40
They can receive these contributions like the Dell, Dell Foundation, anyth- any ones that, you know, get announced in the future that they may be eligible for.
Ben Henry-MorelandGUEST
11:48
They'll be able to receive these contributions, have them effectively invested, and be able to, to, you know, have any, any subsequent, you know, investment growth or you hope not lost, but any sort of market growth beyond that.

Susan Dell isn't an executive Dell-- of Dell Technologies.
Scott KestersonHOST

So you're seeing the same model here.
Scott KestersonHOST
17:48
It's just that it's-- we're calling it something different.
Scott KestersonHOST
17:51
We're gonna make it Trump accounts, or we're gonna make it money coming from the Dell Foundation.
Scott KestersonHOST
17:56
But it's not costing the Dells anything, and it's, and it's all about a political spin as far as I'm concerned about this upcoming election.

You know, what's trending right now is her appearance.
Bek LoverHOST
2:03
So she's the co-founder and chair of the Michael and Susan Dell Foundation.
Bek LoverHOST
2:08
She doesn't look anything like that, okay? which was established in 1999 to accelerate opportunities for families and build pathways to change lives globally.

To date, Michael and Susan have committed $10 billion to nonprofits and social enterprises focused on creating positive change in the United States, India, Africa, and of course, Israel.
Larry O'ConnorHOST

... because she's been writing on this ever since these Trump accounts went live right after the Fourth of July.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
30:50
Um, the, the money that you're talking about from the Dell Foundation, for instance.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
30:54
Let's say I go, I activate this account, and I can start utilizing these tools in the app, and I can fund it with money as well, um, up to $5,000 a year.
Larry O'ConnorHOST
31:03
How does one gain access to the matching funds, like from the Dell Foundation and that sort of thing?
Patrice OnwukaGUEST
31:10
So the Dell Foundation, they have targeted certain ZIP codes, um, and I think they're trying to target low-income households.
Patrice OnwukaGUEST
31:16
So you, you would automatically, depending on your ZIP code, qualify for tho- those funds, and they would automatically be put into your child's Trump account.
Patrice OnwukaGUEST
31:23
You don't necessarily have to apply for those.
