The Michael & Susan Dell Foundation’s $6.25 billion commitment adds $250 per eligible child to Trump Accounts (IRC § 530A). Families with multiple children can potentially receive the gift for each qualifying kid.
Family Eligibility for the Dell $250
- Each child must be age 10 and under (born before January 1, 2025)
- The family’s ZIP code must have a median household income below $150,000
- Children cannot already qualify for the federal $1,000 seed (2025–2028 births)
Many families will be able to open accounts for several children and receive the $250 deposit for each one.
How to Secure the Dell Gift for Every Child
- File IRS Form 4547 for each child (you can include multiple children on your tax return).
- Use the official portal at trumpaccounts.gov once available.
- The Treasury automatically applies the Dell deposit based on each child’s age and your ZIP code.
