Virginia529 offers an online, no fee way to contribute to any Prepaid529 or Invest529 account. Your account(s) has a custom gift ID number, which you will find when you log in to your secure Virginia529 account. Share that custom gift ID with family members and friends to make gifting easy for you both - the custom ID is safe to share on social media as it keeps your account information private while directing gifts to the intended recipient and account. Always the right size and color, our Gift Center is like a registry for college and K-12 tuition expenses!

As a Virginia529 account owner, you retain control of the account while making a completed gift of your contributions, and you reap the rewards of Virginia’s income tax deduction.
