Backer: Smart 529 Savings

Welcome to Backer! Create a college fund for a kid you love, invite family & friends to chip in, and watch your savings grow. Join the 100K+ parents and kids we’ve already helped avoid over $500,000,000 in future student debt.

TO COLLEGE AND BEYOND!
Studies have shown that having even a bit of college savings can propel a young person toward the college of their dreams. With Backer, you can supercharge this effect by building a team of supporters (“backers”) for your kid.

• SIMPLE - Start a college fund in less than 5 minutes
• SOCIAL - Invite family and friends to follow along and join your kid’s team
• SMART - Invest your savings tax-free in the country’s top-rated 529 savings plan

CUSTOM GIFT PAGES
Add some details to your kid’s college 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, Backer families who save together end up saving 4x more. We send reminders for key milestone moments like birthdays and holidays, so everyone can stay involved.

SIMPLE, TRANSPARENT PRICING
We've got a plan for every family — with simple, transparent pricing, no matter how much you save. It’s free to start saving tax-free (our “Steady” plan), or you can pay a low monthly fee for premium features including a head start on your savings (a “Backer Boost”).

SECURITY YOU CAN TRUST
Your account is protected with the strongest available browser encryption and secure servers monitored 24/7/365. Your 529 investments are managed in a government-sponsored account that you can access at any time.
