Contribute
Help grow your CollegeBound 529 by setting up recurring contributions, and utilizing Ugift and Upromise.
Ask Friends and Family to Give The Gift of College Savings.
Ugift® is a convenient, free-to-use service that lets family and friends contribute to your child's CollegeBound 529 account. There are no registration or service fees for gift givers, and no added paperwork for you.
How Does Ugift Work?
After you open a CollegeBound 529 account, you will receive a Ugift code specific to your account's beneficiary. You can then share this unique code with family and friends in several ways:
-
Log in to your account and select “Ugift” to send your code via email, Facebook or Twitter.
- Share your code over the phone or in person.
Once your family and friends have your Ugift code in hand, they can visit Ugift529.com to make a gift contribution.
Set up recurring contributions.
If you currently have an account, you can set up contributions online. Use the chart to see how monthly contributions can add up over time.

Shop and Save for College
Upromise is a rewards program that believes everyone should have a chance to go to college and pursue his or her dreams. Since 2001, Upromise has helped its members earn millions in cash back for college from eligible purchases you most likely make every day.
