Helping families
dream, save and achieve

Virginia529 is excited to announce that it’s rebranding its education savings program as Invest529. This change, which will take place throughout the year, is part of a larger update to the organization.

Individual 529 plan accounts and custodial accounts are two of the most common ways to save for college, but each offer differing benefits for families. Understanding the differences between the two saving methods is important when choosing which one’s right for your family.

Target Enrollment Portfolios shift from riskier investments toward more conservative investments as families get closer to using the funds for their child’s post-high school education. This process occurs annually, with the most recent evolution effective as of January 1, 2025.
