Erika Kirk Promises Turning Point Will Match $1,000 Government Deposits in Trump Accounts: ‘We’re Proud’
Erika Kirk promises to give back in the spirit of her late husband, Charlie Kirk.
The Turning Point USA CEO, 37, announced on Wednesday, January 28, that the organization would match federal government contributions to Trump Accounts, the tax-advantaged investment accounts for U.S. citizens under age 18.
The mother of two’s announcement came the same day President Donald Trump held an event in Washington, D.C., promoting Trump Accounts.
“Charlie spoke so often about the importance of young families and having children, and his face would light up every time he learned about a Turning Point employee welcoming a newborn into their family,” Erika wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
“In that spirit, @TPUSA and @TPAction_ are honored to continue Charlie’s support of families through a company-sponsored dollar-for-dollar match of the federal government’s $1,000 contribution to the 503A ‘Trump Account’ established for every eligible employee’s newborn baby,” she said.
“We’re proud to stand with @POTUS in supporting families and investing in the future of America,” Erika concluded.
According to the TrumpAccounts.gov website, the program will launch July 5.
“Build your child’s financial foundation right from the beginning,” the website states. “With $1,000 from the U.S. Treasury, your child has a huge head start on the American dream.”
Erika and her late husband share two children, though she has not revealed their names nor faces.
The right-wing political activist’s sudden death gained national attention after he was assassinated on September 10 at age 31 in broad daylight while speaking at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, as part of his American Comeback Tour.
