This paper draws on experience from the data-collection process in the American Dream Demonstration (ADD) of Individual Development Accounts (IDAs) to make recommendations for the design of monitoring of savings in a Children and Youth Savings Account Policy Demonstration (CYSAPD). In ADD, thirteen community-based organizations were funded through the Corporation for Enterprise Development (CFED) to design, implement, and run IDA programs serving low-income people.
