The Giving Pledge equivalent for the Invest America program — every announced commitment on one filterable page.
The Invest America program launched publicly on July 4, 2026, the 250th birthday of the United States. It channels private cash and appreciated-stock contributions from major donors into Trump Accounts — the federally-created investment accounts for children under 18 authorized in the 2025 legislative package. Brad Gerstner, founder of Altimeter Capital, is the program's public advocate and launcher. This page catalogs every publicly announced private contribution since the launch: contributor, affiliation, approximate amount, contribution form (cash vs. stock), target beneficiary demographic, and announcement source. It is intentionally a living reference — the story is fast-moving, new commitments are being announced by the day, and each new row is added as it is verified. Nothing here is investment or philanthropy advice; this is a fact-checkable practitioner reference for a specific question — who is committing what to the Invest America program, and on what terms?
Ten columns. Announcement date. Contributor name (households listed as one row where the contribution was announced jointly). Business affiliation. Approximate USD amount at the time of the announcement. Contribution form — cash, stock (with the specific issuer identified), or combined. Target beneficiaries — the age range, geographic focus, and household-income focus specified in the announcement, where disclosed. Program vehicle — whether the gift moves through the Invest America program, is a direct Trump Account gift, or is a related-program contribution. Announcement source. Distinctive notes. Verification status.
Sort and filter. Click any column header to sort. Use the affiliation type, contribution form, and verification-status filters to isolate a slice. The search box matches contributor names, affiliations, and note text.
Contribution form matters. Cash contributions are simple — a dollar amount flows into Trump Accounts on behalf of the specified beneficiaries. Stock contributions raise structural questions the reader should note: the reported amount is the current valuation of the shares, which for private-company stock (SpaceX, most notably) is a marked value that will move with subsequent primary and secondary transactions. Where a commitment is reported in stock, the Institute reports the reported value at announcement without further mark-to-market.
Verification status. A VERIFIED flag means the Institute located an on-record confirmation of the contribution (a formal press release, an official Invest America program communication, or a first-party X post from the contributor). An APPROXIMATE flag means the commitment has been publicly reported but the Institute has not confirmed a first-party on-record source at the time of this catalog. As the story develops, rows will graduate from Approximate to Verified — or be corrected. This is the honest way to run a fast-moving tracker.
Every publicly announced private contribution to Trump Accounts via the Invest America program since the July 4, 2026 launch. Sortable by date, amount, affiliation, and verification status. Search by contributor name (Michael Dell, Gwynne Shotwell, Brad Gerstner), by affiliation (SpaceX, Dell Technologies, Altimeter Capital), or by contribution form (cash vs. stock). Every row is a fact-checkable reference. This is a living dataset — updated whenever a new commitment is announced.
| Date | Contributor | Affiliation | Amount | Form | Target beneficiaries | Vehicle | Source | Notes | Verif. |

Roll-ups reflect the contributors cataloged in the table above. Where a commitment amount is approximate, it is included in the count-based roll-ups and in the dollar totals with an "approx" flag. Dollar figures are directional; the point is to convey the scale of the private-contribution pool being assembled around the Invest America launch.
Sum of all announced commitments to Trump Accounts via the Invest America program since the July 4, 2026 launch. Includes both cash and stock contributions. Stock contributions are counted at the reported valuation at time of announcement.
Cash vs. stock. The pattern to watch: whether the largest commitments arrive as cash (straightforward) or as appreciated equity (tax-efficient for the donor, mark-to-market exposure for the beneficiary accounts).
Tech founder-CEO commitments have dominated the launch window. Whether financial-sector, family-office, or corporate-institutional contributions join the record in the following weeks is the leading indicator to watch.
Announcements have specified geographic beneficiary emphasis in a handful of cases (SpaceX central-Texas emphasis, national-scope where not otherwise specified). Roll-up reflects contributor-specified geographic emphasis, not the ultimate distribution pattern.
The Invest America program is the primary intake channel for private contributions to Trump Accounts on behalf of specific beneficiary children or pooled groups of beneficiaries. Contributions are being accepted in cash and in appreciated stock (public or private), with an announced program preference for directing gifts to children ages 11 through 17 in lower-income households. Contributors interested in participating should consult the Invest America program's official communications for the current intake process, minimum contribution thresholds, and beneficiary-designation options.

Educational reference. Not investment advice. Not philanthropic advice. Not a solicitation. This tracker is an independent educational reference and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to the Invest America program, the federal Trump Accounts program administration, or any named contributor. The Baratelli Institute publishes under the Lowe v. SEC publisher exception; neutral positioning maintained throughout. Contribution amounts, announcement dates, and beneficiary demographics cited in this catalog are drawn from publicly available announcements (first-party X posts, press releases, and contemporaneous press coverage). Where a specific figure is not yet confirmed by a first-party on-record source, the row is flagged "Approximate" rather than fabricating precision. Corrections and updates are welcomed at the contact link in the footer.
“The first days of a new program are when the record is either honest or it isn't. This one is honest — flagged where the sources are, flagged where they aren't.”
