Earn the Savings Match!
Double Your Child’s College and Career Savings! For the next $100 your family saves, we’ll save $100 for your child too.
Saving for college and career training is an important piece of a family’s overall financial plan—but it’s not the only part. The amount of money that makes sense to save for college and career is different for every family. The good news is that no amount is too large or too small when you start saving early and make a plan to save regularly. PLUS, for the next $100 your family saves, we’ll save $100 too!
Starting on your child’s first day of first grade, and ending on your child’s last day of fifth grade, NYC Kids RISE will match dollar-for-dollar the money that you deposit into the college and career savings account for the benefit of your child, up to a maximum of $100, to help you reach your next $200 saved. Note: before you can start earning the Savings Match, you must first complete the 3 Building Blocks. Click here for instructions on how to finish.
