GiftofCollege.com was born when founder Wayne Weber discovered just how complicated it can be to donate to a college savings account. Wayne designed an innovative social savings platform that makes it easier than ever for friends and relatives to help parents save for a child’s college education.

By transforming the way that parents, relatives and friends think about saving for college, GiftofCollege.com has created an easy, fun, social way to contribute to a 529 plan using a credit card. Parents who are stressed about the need to save tens of thousands of dollars for their child’s college education can enlist friends and relatives to help with this critical task.

Through an innovative social savings platform, GiftofCollege.com now makes the task of donating to a college education fun and easy. We also help parents create a community, a place where they can share their child’s hopes and dreams about their college choices and career plans. Overburdened parents are no longer alone; they can share their progress in meeting their college savings goals and celebrate their successes.
