Does the gifter really not need an account?

No. They open the link, choose an amount, pay, and they're done. They can make an account afterward if they want to follow the goal, but nothing requires it.

Who controls the money?

The parent or guardian who created the goal. Children's accounts are view-first, and anything that moves money needs a parent's approval.

What if the goal changes?

Rename it, re-target it, or move the balance to another goal for the same child. The gift history follows the money.

Which countries can gift?

For now, futureit is available in the United States, so gifts can be sent from anywhere in the US.

How it works

A gift that takes 47 seconds.

The whole thingHere is the whole thing, start to finish — what the parent does once, what the gifter does in under a minute, and what happens quietly in between.

Step 1: The parent · ~2 minutesThe parent · once, ~2 minutes

Create a goal and name what it's for.

Pick the child, name the goal, set a target and a rough date. A vague "savings account" gets vague gifts; "university, $20,000, 2038" gets specific ones.

You can run several goals side by side — one per child, one per milestone — and add a wishlist for the gifts that aren't money.

Step 2: The parent · one link, forever

Share the link where conversation is happening.

One link per goal. Paste it into the group chat or send it to one person. It never expires and always shows current progress.

One link per goal. Paste it into the group chat, put it at the bottom of a birthday invite, or send it to one person. It never expires and it always shows the current progress.

Anyone who gives can be added to the child's circle, so next year they get a quiet nudge before the date instead of a panicked one after it.

Step 3: The gifter · 47s, no accountThe gifter · 47 seconds, no account

Tap, choose an amount, share a greeting, done.

One page, start to finish. Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, processed securely by Stripe.

Everything happens on one page. Pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay — processed securely by Stripe — then choose how the gift arrives:

Cash toward the goal, or a gift cardCash toward their goal, or a gift card from a brand they love
A note, a greeting card, or a voice messageA personal note, a designed greeting card, or a recorded voice message
A receipt and a link to follow the goalAn instant receipt, plus a link to watch the goal fill up

Step 4: AutomaticAutomatic · between birthdays

Every gift adds up.

Contributions are pooled into the goal. You see the balance, the progress and every contribution behind itthat made it up — and you choose when to withdraw.

Step 5: ForeverForever · the part that matters

The story is kept.

Every message, card and voice note is saved against the gift and the giver. Thank-yous go back the same way. At eighteen, the goal comes with a record of everyone who helped build it.

Gifts that grow

See what $50 a birthday becomes.

A birthday gift on futureit doesn't disappear into a wallet. It lands in a goal — and when the whole family gives, small, regular gifts add up to something that can actually change a life.
