Baby Bonds Symposium

Treasurer Laura M. Montoya invites you to join the New Mexico State Treasurer’s Office, New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martínez, Connecticut State Treasurer Erick Russell, Dr. Darrick Hamilton from The New School for Social Research, and leaders from across the nation for the New Mexico State Treasurer’s Office Baby Bonds Symposium to engage in informative and innovative discussions around Baby Bonds legislation that will be proposed in the 2025 legislative session.

Baby Bonds intends to create a government-funded trust account for each baby born in New Mexico to receive a pledge startup of capital that will accrue interest over time and be available for use on wealth-building activities in adulthood. Connecticut is the first state to have passed Baby Bonds legislation, and their babies already have money set aside to help build their futures.

Investing in our youth is an investment in our economy, our families, and our future. The Baby Bonds Symposium presents a vital opportunity for community engagement, a platform for New Mexicans to learn about Baby Bonds, and collaboration on the development of Baby Bonds legislation, which will directly impact future generations’ financial well-being in New Mexico. Through Baby Bonds, we can ensure every New Mexican has the opportunity to build wealth and achieve financial independence while building a vibrant economy and workforce in our state.

Your participation is imperative as we explore the potential of Baby Bonds in New Mexico. Organizations, businesses, and leaders who are interested in learning more about Baby Bonds and partnering with the New Mexico State Treasurer’s Office to positively impact future generations are invited to attend.

Let’s come together to talk about how Baby Bonds can help bridge the gap of inequity in our state!
