Make Holiday Gifting This Year Quick, Easy, and Lasting with Edvest 529

MADISON, Wis. (November 20, 2023) – The holiday season is in full swing, and many are thinking about what gifts to get their children, grandchildren, and other little ones in their lives.

Wisconsin families can skip the stress of finding the latest “must-have” toys and expensive tech this year by opening or gifting to an Edvest 529 College Savings Plan.

“A contribution to a college savings plan is the type of gift that can grow with a child versus one that will be quickly outgrown,” said Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions Secretary-designee Cheryll Olson-Collins. “This gift can give families peace of mind knowing they gave something lasting, while also giving them triple tax benefits in return.”

To help families get started on their higher education savings journey, Edvest 529 is offering a special holiday bonus deposit incentive.

This offer aims to motivate parents and grandparents to start saving for their loved one’s higher education this holiday season.
