This holiday season, more families are buying fewer gifts, scaling back travel and hosting smaller gatherings as inflation continues to pinch wallets. While the 2022 holiday season has become the season of giving cautiously, nearly half of parents¹ are saying contributions to their children’s 529 accounts are high on this year’s wishlist.

For a simple and practical solution, consider giving a gift your child, grandchild, nephew, niece, or other young loved one won’t outgrow or forget about when a fad fades --- the gift of education. An Invest529 gift card is a meaningful investment in their future that is easy to make.

Invest529 funds can be used on a broad range of qualified education expenses at schools nationwide and even some overseas schools, including:

• Public or private universities
• Graduate schools
• Vocational schools
• Private or religious K-12 schools
• Repayment of certain student loans
• Registered apprenticeship programs

Making a gift contribution is easy. With the Virginia529 Gift Center, anyone can give to an Invest529 account. There are three easy ways to contribute to an account:
