Gifting
What is a gifting page?
A gifting page is a unique web page that allows your loved ones to easily make contributions directly to your account online. They can simply go to your unique URL and add funds to your account. Whether for a birthday, baby shower, holiday, graduation, or just because, your gift page allows your friends, family, and community to help with your savings goals.
Benefits of gifting pages
With the help of family and friends, gifting pages create a major benefit for VT529 account users.
It’s easy
By using a unique URL, loved ones can easily go online and make a direct contribution to a specific child's account.
Reach your goals
Get closer to your financial goals and make the most of your account contribution limits each year.
Track your contributions
You can easily track your gifting history and receive statements to keep track of your funds.
Anyone can contribute
Friends and family can easily make contributions directly to your account online — for birthdays, holidays, or just because.
Recurring gifts
Gift givers can easily set up recurring contributions for birthdays, holidays, or just regular gifts to help you.
Gifting profiles
Gift givers can make quick contributions without needing to provide banking details every time.
How gifting pages work
Your account automatically comes with a unique URL that leads directly to your personal gifting page. You can share your unique URL with friends and family by text, email, or social media. Anyone who has a link can contribute towards your goal.
After a gift contribution has been processed, you’ll get an email letting you know someone contributed to your account. All processed gift contributions will also appear in your activity feed. Please keep in mind that any gift contributions made through an online gifting page will not be available for withdrawal for 10 business days.
