At Babylist, we offer two types of funds: cash funds or Early Investor funds. Cash funds can be used for things like diapers, college, parental leave and anything else you're saving for. Friends and family can give to the fund via Venmo, cash and check (I can't remember if this is accurate)
Early Investor funds connect directly to your child's 529 or 530A (Trump Account) so when friends and family give it goes directly to your child's future
Add your fund
- Open your Babylist registry or wishlist.
- Look for the Education funds section or the Get started prompt.
- Select Get started.
