FOSTERING THE FUTURE ACCOUNTS // COLORADO JOINS
Congratulations to Colorado for becoming the 26th state to join Fostering the Future Accounts.
Governor Polis is the second Democratic governor to embrace this bipartisan movement for America’s children.

FOSTERING THE FUTURE // End the “Orphan Tax”
We have a responsibility to put children’s needs before politics and geography.
Thirty states have now committed to ending the "orphan tax"—the practice of using foster children's Social Security survivor and disability benefits to offset the cost of their care.
Additionally, 25 states have agreed to support Fostering the Future Accounts. These accounts will help foster youth save, build financial security, and prepare for adulthood.
Every state, whether led by Republicans or Democrats, should support America’s foster children.

HHS’s "A Home for Every Child" initiative is an important step toward increasing the number of foster homes and solidifying support for foster families and caregivers.
Fostering the Future champions this type of advancement: expanding educational opportunity, strengthening financial security, and building a foster care ecosystem where every child can thrive in America.
