Launching the Baby Bonds Pilot Initiative
In August, State Treasurer Laura M. Montoya, alongside NM House Speaker Javier Martinez, proudly supported the Baby Bonds pilot program led by Partnership For Community Action (PCA), Abriendo Puertas/Opening Doors (AP-OD), MoneyByrd, and Prosperity Works. This initiative serves as proof of concept for Baby Bonds legislation to be proposed during the 2025 legislative session.

Baby Bonds Coalition
The first New Mexico Baby Bond Coalition meeting convened community partners dedicated to breaking cycles of poverty and empowering New Mexicans to pass Baby Bonds legislation in 2025. New Mexico ranks among the highest in violent crime, the lowest in education, and as the third poorest state in the nation. Baby Bonds offer a transformative path to address these challenges, creating opportunities for all New Mexicans to thrive. Together, we can make New Mexico the second state in the nation to pass Baby Bond legislation and help our communities ascend to their fullest potential.
