Grant Program Overview 

Minnesota Kids Investment and Development Savings (MinneKIDS) 

If we build it, we can make it happen.

St. Paul has blazed a way in our state, but we could still bring that work to scale. Sixteen states already have child savings accounts to support families in saving for postsecondary education.  Minnesota may aspire to be the seventeenth, but we still have a lot of work to conceptualize,
