Raise Education enhances the benefits of a traditional 529 savings plan by making it more accessible, flexible, and collaborative. While a standard 529 focuses on tax advantages, Raise Education modernizes the savings experience with features designed for today’s families.

Key Differences

  • Crowdfunded Savings – Friends and family can contribute directly, turning education savings into a collective effort.

  • Simplified Management – Easily track contributions, invite supporters, and manage funds in one intuitive platform.

  • Transparency & Engagement – Create an education profile, share updates, and keep contributors informed, fostering a sense of community.

  • Straightforward Pricing – No hidden fees—just a clear, competitive pricing model designed to maximize savings.
