The East Lake Foundation believes a college education is a major path to social and economic mobility. To help achieve this goal, we are introducing Wealth Builds College Savings Accounts (CSAs). Wealth Builds CSAs are accounts that empower our scholars to build successful financial futures by helping them kickstart their college savings and reduce debt.

Opening with an initial monetary deposit from the East Lake Foundation, families have the opportunity to make additional contributions and follow investment growth over time. When they graduate from high school, scholars can use the funds in their Wealth Builds CSAs to finance their college tuition and expenses — helping them achieve financial empowerment.
