What is GirlPowerr?
At GIRLPOWERR, our mission is all about empowering girls and their families to chase their dreams through higher education! We offer fun and engaging after-school programs that boost confidence, growth, and academic success.
But we don't stop there-we're dedicated to making college more affordable! For every contribution your family makes to a NEST 529 savings account, we'll match it up to a minimum of $100 per year, helping turn those big dreams into a reality. Let's work together to build a brighter future!
What is a NEST 529 Account?
A NEST 529 college savings plan is a smart, stress-free way to save for education with awesome tax benefits! Here's why it's a great choice:
- TAX BENEFITS: Your contributions grow tax-free, and when it's time to use the money, qualified withdrawals are tax-free too-both at the federal and state level!
- FLEXIBILITY: Use your savings for most colleges, universities, and even technical, trade or vocational schools.
- NO MINIMUMS: Start saving at your own pace-no minimum deposit or ongoing contribution needed.
- SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT: Manage your account easily and securely online anytime, anywhere.
- OPEN TO EVERYONE: Whether it's for your child, grandchild, a friend, or even yourself, anyone can open an account, and there are no income limits or restrictions on who can contribute.
