Studies show having a college savings fund can boost educational outcomes. The power of being backed by someone, and then seeing money behind that promise, can propel young people towards the college of their dreams.
And thats why we started Backer.
To help families and friends save smart together for their kids college education.
Create your first fund today!
• SIMPLE - Open a college savings fund for your kid in less than 5 minutes
• SOCIAL - Invite family and friends (you kid’s “backers”) to contribute
• SMART - Invest your savings tax-free in a top-tier 529 savings plan
CUSTOM GIFT PAGES
Edit and personalize your kid’s fund page, then share it with family and friends. When families support each other financially, they are much more likely to reach their savings goals. In fact, families who club together with Backer save four times more on average than when saving alone. Plus, we send reminders for key milestone moments like birthdays and holidays.
INCREDIBLE VALUE
It’s free to start saving with Backer with support from family and friends, and free for backers to contribute to your fund. Plus, for every new backer who joins your fund, we’ll chip in an extra $10, on us. Upgrade to Backer 529 and we invest your savings in a tax-free, gold-rated 529 plan for a monthly fee of $5.
SECURITY YOU CAN TRUST
Your account is protected with bank-level encryption and security practices, including 24/7/365 server monitoring. Your money is placed in a state-sponsored account managed by national investment companies or an FDIC-insured account held at one of the largest U.S. banks.
