How it Works: Step by Step
STEP 1: Create a Free Account
Sign up for a free Gift of Education account and create a profile of your child, including a photo if you choose. You’ll also need to register his/her existing savings plan information. Don't have a savings account yet? No problem—they are a cinch to set up. Visit our Ways To Save page for information and inks to set up a savings account today.
STEP 2: Notify Family and Friends
Once you set up your profile, spread the word via Facebook, Twitter, or email. Birthdays, holidays, and other gift-giving occasions are also a great time to encourage friends and family to contribute to your child's educational savings plan with The Gift of Education.
STEP 3: Track Gifts and Watch Your Educational Savings Grow
The Gift of Education keeps a detailed history of all gifts (including names and totals). An automated email notification is sent to the account holder each time a gift is received. The account holder can easily send "thank you" emails to all contributors.
