Help them save more in an existing 529 plan account
If a child already has a 529 plan account in their name and you don't want to open another one, you can still make a big difference by helping their college savings efforts with contributions to their plan.
- Ugift® - Give College Savings lets you make gift contributions for holidays, birthdays, or any occasion to accounts in certain 529 plans administered by Upromise Investments. In place of another toy or traditional gift, you can make a lasting difference in a child's life with the gift of college savings.
- Upromise® is a free program that lets you earn money as you make everyday purchases from thousands of leading retailers and services.
