Share a 529 gift link with family

If your child has a 529 college savings plan, family may be able to give to it directly. Nurtrd puts your plan's gift link on a simple page with one button.

What a 529 gift link is

Many 529 plans have a gifting feature: a link or code that lets someone else contribute to your child's account on the plan's own website.

Look in your plan's online account for options called gifting, gift link or gift code. Each plan works a little differently, and some don't offer gifting.

How to share it with Nurtrd

  1. Find your plan's gifting feature and copy your child's gift link.
  2. In Nurtrd, add a 529 goal for your child and paste the link.
  3. Add a short message, then preview exactly what family will see.
  4. Share the gift link by text, email or any messaging app.

What family members see

Your child's goal, your message and one button.

The button takes them to your plan's website in the same tab. They choose an amount and finish there. Nurtrd doesn't ask them for an account, payment details or anything else.

You'll continue to Example 529 Plan in this tab to choose an amount and finish your gift.

Which plans work

Nurtrd shows a Contribute button only for gift links from plans we've tested, so family members always land on a real gift page. We're testing plans now and will list them here before launch.

If your plan isn't supported yet, tell us and we'll look at adding it: support@nurtrd.com.

Limits to know

  • Nurtrd can't see your 529 account. Gifts that family members tell you about show as reported until you confirm them.
  • Your plan sets its own minimums, fees, processing times and gift rules.
  • Nurtrd doesn't give tax, legal or investment advice. Ask your plan or a tax professional about contribution limits and tax rules.

Start your child's page
