Tracking Emerging Opportunities in Children’s Savings Accounts Nationwide

Since 2016, Prosperity Now has tracked the evolution of the Children’s Savings Account (CSA) field through annual research, landscape analysis, practitioner engagement, and field-building efforts.

Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs) continue to expand nationwide, reaching nearly 8 million children and families across 42 states and Washington, D.C. As programs grow in scale and scope, the CSA State of the Field Reports provide policymakers, practitioners, financial institutions, philanthropy, and community leaders with insights into emerging trends, innovative practices, and opportunities to strengthen economic opportunity for children and families.

These reports offer a snapshot of the field at a moment in time, documenting program growth, participation trends, enrollment strategies, funding models, account structures, and innovations shaping the future of youth asset-building.
