The Edvest 529 College Savings Plan’s gifting program makes it easy for family and friends to contribute toward a child’s future education. Account owners can share a child’s unique Ugift code through the secure website via email, include on invitations, share on social media, or through the ReadySave529 app via email or text. Gift givers use the Ugift website to make a gift contribution from their bank account, and can create a profile to view gift history and set up recurring gifts. Plus, the Wisconsin state income tax deduction for contributions made to a Wisconsin 529 plan is available to any Wisconsin taxpayer, not just the 529 plan account owner, making gift contributions a benefit for family members or friends! It’s a simple way for loved ones to celebrate milestones – like birthdays and holidays – while helping grow their education savings.
