Freedom Futures: How Atlanta’s First Baby Bonds Pilot is Building Evidence to Close the Wealth Gap

Last fall, The GRO Fund launched the inaugural cohort of Freedom Futures: Cash for Today, Capitol for Tomorrow, a first-of-its-kind Baby Bonds pilot program. We welcomed 50 ambitious young people from educational institutions across Atlanta into the program, designed to understand how direct investments in young people accelerate wealth-building and provide lasting financial stability. The program provides young people with monthly income support so they can meet their needs today and an investable sum to build long-term wealth.
