  • Keep track of grandkids

    It’s hard to keep track of my grandkids across 3 states, but CollegeBacker helps me stay connected. I have annual birthday contributions set up.
  • Perfect for a grandparent

    So much of modern technology is hard to use, but this is as simple as can be. I’m a “backer” for 3 grandchildren and can keep track of my contributions. It’s nice to be able to give a meaningful, long-term gift like this.
  • Thanks for making it so easy

    Was always intimidated by the process to setup a 529 but CollegeBacker makes it so easy to setup an account and get started. Amazing user experience!!
  • Great Platform for Gifting to Friends’ Kids

    The web platform was already great, but now I can just donate to friends’ kids for holidays and birthdays right on my phone with a better experience. Plus, I can see all the accounts I’ve donated to. It’s pretty awesome, and makes donating and keeping track of your contributions fun.
  • Perfect

    This is great. Made is so easy to just set up a quick way for family member to pay into my kid’s college account. I’ve been looking for something like this exactly. Very clean app, works great.
  • Just what my family needed!

    I honestly felt scared to start the process of saving for my son’s college education - but College Backer made it so easy to roll up my sleeves! Now we have a plan - and peace of mind! Love the app!
  • Such an easy way to save for college

    My friends just had a kid, and they included their college backer link in their baby announcement email. I just clicked the link and donated to their college fund. Super easy and convenient! And it feels so good to celebrate their baby by helping them pay for college. I’m definitely going to open a college backer account for my kid when I have one too!
