Future Bound Miami

Future Bound Miami is Florida's first universal Children's Savings Account (CSA) program in Miami-Dade County that provides families with a free, long-term savings account for their
child's college or postsecondary education. When a child's account is initially activated, the child will receive an initial seed incentive of up to $50. Like this, more monetary incentives and savings matches will be introduced over time to keep the child's savings growing.

We aim to improve financial readiness for postsecondary education for students and families in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Established by a consortium of community partners, we are committed to working together to create more resources for Miami-Dade families' educational and economic advancement. We believe that educators and community stakeholders are key to helping our children achieve their dreams. Future Bound Miami's goal is to expand opportunities for students to move on to postsecondary education. We achieve this through the continual pursuit of two program goals: 1) Educational Achievement - Increase postsecondary readiness among students in Miami-Dade County by fostering a postsecondary-bound identity that will help reduce the achievement gap among racial and socioeconomic groups. 2) Financial Capability - Assist low- and moderate wealth families lead healthier lives through financial education and sound savings habits among children and parents.
