Studies have shown that having even a bit of college savings can propel a young person toward the college of their dreams.
Add some details to your kid’s college fund page, then share it with family and friends.
Investing involves risks, and any account you open or send money to may lose value.
With Backer, you can supercharge this effect by building a team of supporters (“backers”) for your kid.
When families support each other financially, they are much more likely to reach their savings goals.
