For more than twenty years, Virginia529 has helped millions of families and individuals plan and save for the cost of higher education through tax-advantaged 529 savings programs. Available nationwide with account owners in every state, Virginia529 is the largest 529 plan, managing more than $91 billion in assets as of December 31, 2020. In addition to being the industry leader, Virginia529 strives to make higher education more affordable and accessible, especially to students who face financial obstacles. Virginia529 also administers the national ABLEnow program. Before the implementation of this program, individuals with a disability could not save for their future out of fear for losing their benefits. This valuable program helps them plan for their financial future through tax-advantaged savings. Virginia529 is dedicated to establishing ABLEnow as a recognized leader in meeting the unique financial needs of people with disabilities. Virginia529 wouldn't be an industry leader in education and disabilities savings without our highly motivated and skilled employees. This success is only possible by recognizing the expertise and variety of experiences of each employee and working together to serve our community. Employees encourage each other to bring their whole selves to work and create time and space for open, honest conversations. Investing in our employees is the best way to invest in the future of our organization.
