$5,000 Goal

Studies show that children from low-to-moderate income families that have a college savings account with a balance between $1-500 are three times more likely to enroll in college and four times more likely to graduate. And all it takes to increase those odds of success is your donation right now. 


We are setting every child born on or after January 1, 2020, on the path to higher education and career training with a college savings account


The City of Saint Paul and the broader community are dedicated to investing in the lives of our children. That’s why the community is working together to provide a college savings account with $50 for each child who lives in Saint Paul and is born on or after January 1, 2020, or who moves into Saint Paul prior to age six. 


CollegeBound Saint Paul was designed to address inequity and invest in Saint Paul’s future leaders, employers, and employees that are essential to sustainable, equitable, regional prosperity. The purpose of the program is to connect families and their children to early childhood resources as well as financial education and tools to be financially healthy. 


Children and families can earn more money in their accounts through bonuses by engaging with the program and their account, reaching milestones, and participating in financial health and child wellbeing programs and services in the community.  


How a College Savings Account Program Works 

College Savings Accounts (CSAs) are long-term savings accounts that help children save for the future, generally for post-high-school education. This includes four-year colleges and universities, two-year and community colleges, and workforce or vocational training. 


                                                                               

CollegeBound Saint Paul is more than just $50 deposited into an account. It’s a way for our community to tell our children, “we believe in you… we are invested in your success… you are worthy.” 

Join your neighbors today with your most generous gift to support kids now and for years to come. 

Help us fund 100 $50 seed deposits for a saint paul baby! 

Thank you!
