Join us for a hands-on design sprint exploring the creation of publicly funded trust accounts for children at birth.

About Impact x Design: Building Economic Justice for Future Oregonians

Publicly funded trust accounts for children, also known as “baby bonds," are designed to help break the cycle of poverty and address the racial wealth gap. Inspired by the pioneering work of economist Dr. Darrick Hamilton, these accounts would be a powerful step toward significantly reducing, if not eliminating the racial wealth gap in one generation for future Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) Oregonians.

This interactive workshop invites social impact designers, visual artists, and public innovators to explore how these accounts can reshape economic mobility in our state through a lens of racial justice + equity. Participants will have the chance to explore mindsets, messages, and strategies needed to engage the broader community to build support for this initiative. You'll have the opportunity to contribute to a forward-thinking project that brings together private, public, and community-based organizations, all aimed towards a thriving and equitable economic future for Oregon's next generation!
