Education Funding for Children or Grandchildren
Education is one of the most powerful gifts you can giveโand one of the most significant expenses youโll face. Whether youโre planning for your childโs college tuition or setting up a legacy gift for a grandchild, smart planning can help you support their future while maintaining your own financial goals. We help families design tax-efficient, flexible education funding strategies that make long-term sense.
Why It Matters
The cost of education continues to rise, and waiting too long to plan can limit your options. But funding education isnโt just about saving moneyโitโs about aligning your resources with your values and balancing generosity with financial stability. The right plan accounts for taxes, timing, and your full financial pictureโnot just tuition.
How We Help
We work with parents, grandparents, and guardians to create tailored solutions that integrate education planning into the broader wealth strategy:

- FAFSA/CSS methodologies change; treatment of non-parent 529 distributions has evolved. This tool offers a โconservativeโ toggle to plan cautiously; verify current rules during your filing year.
- No PII is transmitted; all logic runs client-side.
