Gifted Savings is a nonprofit that gives high school seniors a real $1,000 investment portfolio and teaches them how to understand and grow it. Through short lessons and reflection activities, you'll learn how money, investing, and planning can support your goals—not just now, but for the long term.
Why did I get this?
You're part of a school selected to pilot Gifted Savings because we believe every young person deserves a chance to build wealth and learn financial skills early. Donors chose to invest in you because they believe in you and want to empower you with a meaningful financial head start.
What’s the catch?
There really isn’t one. Gifted Savings is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit—we don’t make money off students, charge fees, or earn anything from your investments. Our only goal is to help you learn how to invest and use this gift in a way that makes a difference in your life.
When can I access my Gifted Savings portfolio funds?
You’ll be able to access your portfolio once you meet all of the following requirements:
You’ve turned 18
You’ve completed all the Gifted Savings lessons
You’ve submitted all three surveys (beginning, middle, and end)
You’ve finished the school year
Once those are done, you'll be able to request to withdraw or transfer your investments.
