What Is Invest Payson?

A Local Program With
Generational Reach

Under the new federal child investment account program, eligible U.S. children born from 2025 through 2028 receive a $1,000 government seed in a tax-advantaged investment account. Families and businesses can contribute more, including up to $2,500 per child each year from a participating business.

Invest Payson makes it easier for shops, trades, restaurants, nonprofits, and other local businesses to offer those contributions as a team benefit. It also gives civic groups and neighbors a way to support a local matching effort so more children across the Rim can share in a stronger future.

Why It Matters Here

A Benefit That
Grows With a Family

A steady business contribution can mean far more than another item in a benefits packet. It tells local families they matter, helps good people put down roots, and gives the next generation more time to grow a real financial head start.

Around here, people know who opened the shop, fixed the roof, coached the team, and showed up when a neighbor needed help. This program turns that same small-town care into a practical investment in Rim Country kids.
