WASHINGTON — Billionaires Bill Ackman and Charles Schwab are spearheading a new advertising initiative in the nation’s capital this week, showcasing President Trump’s American Dream Accounts. The campaign, funded by their organization, Save Match Grow, aims to highlight retirement options for millions of workers lacking access to traditional 401(k) plans or similar workplace accounts.
Save Match Grow is deploying a mobile billboard to navigate through Washington, D.C., disseminating crucial information about these retirement accounts. “Congress has a pivotal opportunity to enhance the financial security of countless Americans by broadening the scope of American Dream Accounts,” stated Jessica Anderson, spokeswoman for Save Match Grow. “It’s imperative that our leaders capitalize on the momentum generated by the administration and work towards legislation that expands eligibility and increases the federal match’s value.”
Anderson emphasized the innovative nature of the program, describing it as a transformative policy that supports workers in achieving their American Dream. “The public is already showing strong support for this initiative, and it’s crucial that Congress moves swiftly to solidify this forward-thinking and practical proposal,” she urged.
Photographs released by the organization depict the billboard vehicle making its rounds near the U.S. Treasury Department on Monday, capturing the attention of passersby.

On April 30, Trump signed executive action setting up the IRAs for low-income earners who will each receive a yearly federal matching contribution of up to $1,000.
Individuals making less than $35,500 annually, heads of household making $53,250 per year, or couples making $71,000 each year are all eligible, amounting to more than 40 million Americans without traditional retirement accounts.
The Treasury implemented the accounts by leveraging the Federal Saver’s Match program to boost IRA savings.
The American Dream Accounts will particularly help independent contractors, part-time workers, such as those who work gig jobs for Uber, small business employees and self-employed individuals.
TrumpIRA.gov — which launches in January 2027 — provides Americans with the opportunity to enroll in the “high-quality, low-cost” IRA plans offered by private-sector financial institutions, according to the White House.
“I promised to make the same types of retirement accounts enjoyed by federal employees available to all Americans, and that’s what we’re doing. It only seemed fair,” Trump said when signing the order in April.
