BlackRock will match government contributions to “Trump accounts” for its employees, making it one of the first major US companies to lay out plans for supporting his program. 

Under the White House initiative, which begins in July, any parent can open an account for their child and contribute up to $5,000 a year. Employers can contribute $2,500 annually without affecting a worker’s taxable income.

BlackRock on Wednesday said it will offer a match to the government’s contribution for all eligible US employees. Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio also announced on Wednesday that his foundation will donate $250 each to roughly 300,000 of the accounts for children in Connecticut.

Just a thought.
