A COMMUNITY BUILT ON TRUST
The Guaranteed Income Community of Practice (GICP) convenes policy experts, advocates, researchers, leaders, funders, practitioners and elected officials to learn and collaborate in the maturing arena of unconditional cash programs.
Community Spotlight
In this session, Nina Olson and Gabriel Zucker of the Center for Taxpayer Rights walk us through a deceptively simple question: what exactly are 530A accounts (“Trump Accounts”), and how should families and funders engage with them? Grounded in the statutory details, they cover what these accounts actually are — think head-start retirement fund, not general savings — how enrollment works, and what nonprofits and foundations need to know before contributing, including a critical tax trap that could make charitable dollars less valuable than a direct cash transfer.

A FOUNDATION OF EQUITY
The GICP builds on the success of two landmark guaranteed income programs: the Magnolia Mother’s Trust and the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration. The lessons learned from the first large-scale community-based pilot (MMT) and the first mayor-led demonstration (SEED) produced robust systems of support for new equity-focused guaranteed income programs to use.
