How to start gifting.
When it comes to gifting, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. Explore a variety of ways to give with an Oregon College Savings Plan account, and learn how to earn a tax credit.
Everyone can contribute.
With an Oregon College Savings Plan account, kids can pursue their dreams and fund their education. But saving doesn’t have to be done all alone. With our gifting programs, you can lean on your community and bring your friends and family in on the action.
Whether you want to send a gift — or receive one — get the full picture on gifting with an Oregon College Savings Plan account.
Gift an account.
