The Invest America initiative is a savings and investment program for American children born between 2025 and 2028. The scheme was created earlier this year under Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
Michael Dell and Wife’s Pledge to Reach 25M American Kids
The Michael and Susan Dell Foundation, through which the pledge was made, is not affiliated with Dell Technologies. The commitment will see $250 go into the individual investment accounts — which have been dubbed ‘Trump Accounts’ — of 25 million American children admitted into the program.
Reacting to the charity pledge, President Trump on his Truth Social account described the couple as “two great people,” adding: “I love Dell!!!”
Under the program, the U.S. Treasury plans to deposit $,1000 into the accounts of kids born during the qualifying period. The process is expected to kick off in early July next year.
Dell Launches Digital Learning Hub
In a separate development, Dell Technologies and EdTech specialist firm Discovery Education, on Tuesday, rolled out Tech Career Circuit, a digital learning hub. According to both firms, the hub has been tailored to equip American students in grades 6–12 with foundational IT and digital literacy skills.
Carly Tatum, the head of Giving and Impact at Dell Technologies, noted that the legacy multinational technology company’s goal is to prepare students for the future workforce.
AI Fuels Dell’s Growth
Both moves come as Dell Technologies’ business continues to boom. The Texas-based company, in its recent Q3 2025 earnings, reported record revenue and earnings per share.
This growth was fueled by a surge in orders for the company’s AI server and other AI-enhanced infrastructure products. Bank of America analyst Wamsi Mohan expects this category to help double Dell Technologies’ revenue over the coming years.
