Community Gifting

Get your gift on.

You don’t have to go it alone. Community gifting through Embark makes it simple for anyone in your kid’s life to contribute to their education.

Meet your gifting page.

Every Embark account has a personalized gifting page with its own unique URL. Just log into your account to retrieve your link, and share it with friends and family to get the savings going.

Loved ones have gifted over $297 million since 2018.

Send a gift.

When it comes to sending a gift, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Explore a variety of ways to give with an Embark account.

  • Make an online contribution to your loved one’s personal gifting page. Don’t have a link? Just ask them to send you one.
  • Keep the gifting going by creating a gifting profile and setting up recurring gifts. You can use your profile to gift to multiple Embark accounts at specific times.
  • Or send a one-time contribution using our PDF gifting form.
