Our Vision

We believe every child deserves a strong financial start. Greater Life Community Development Community Benefits Initiative Child Savings Accounts (CSA) Program supports Black children (ages 5–10) in Communities of Concern by helping to provide a savings account to build wealth for education, home-ownership, or starting a business.

What is a Child Savings Account? 

Each CSA is seeded with an initial investment from GLCD’s Community Investment Fund and grows through compounded interest, and  contributions from family, the community, and donors.

• 📘 Higher Education
• 🏡 First-Time Homeownership
• 💼 Starting a Small Business
