Ascensus Announces Strategic Investment in Nonprofitly, Broadens Pathways to Education

Investment strengthens long-standing partnership to help states scale Child Savings Account (CSA) programs

DRESHER, Pa., June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Ascensus, the engine at the center of America's savings ecosystem, today announced a strategic investment in Nonprofitly, a mission-driven technology provider. Nonprofitly, through its flagship platform, Outcome Tracker, supports Child Savings Account (CSA) programs across 14 states with more than 6.5 million CSAs holding over $3.5 billion. The investment deepens a partnership spanning more than a decade and reinforces a shared commitment to advancing education savings through scalable, data-driven solutions. Financial terms were not disclosed.

"After more than ten years of collaboration, we are excited to deepen our partnership even further," said Peg Creonte, President of Ascensus Government Savings. "We share a commitment to expand access to education savings for large and diverse populations. The combination of Ascensus' market leading position in 529 administration and Nonprofitly's capabilities will help more states deliver effective Child Savings Account programs. These programs are an important catalyst for early education savings, complimenting 529 plans and emerging approaches such as Trump Accounts."

"This next chapter with Ascensus builds on a foundation of trust and shared vision," said Matt Schubert, Founder and CEO of Nonprofitly. "Together, we are focused on helping states and communities expand access to education savings at scale, combining best-in-class technology, deep program expertise, and a long-term commitment to better outcomes for the families we serve."

Through the investment, Ascensus will further integrate its industry-leading 529 program administration capabilities with Outcome Tracker's data and program management technology, enabling states to launch, manage, and scale CSA programs more efficiently. For families, these programs provide starter contributions and a clear pathway to long-term education savings. For states, they offer a highly visible, scalable way to expand access and underscore the impact of early savings.

As part of the transaction, Peg Creonte will join Nonprofitly's Board of Directors, and Raghav Nandagopal, Ascensus' Chief Corporate Development Officer, will join the company as a Board Advisor.

Ascensus is the nation's leading provider of 529 plan administration services, supporting 49 plans across 31 states and the District of Columbia. For more than a decade, the company has worked alongside state clients and partners on CSA programs to introduce families to education savings early, often serving as a gateway to broader 529 participation.

Gentry Locke Attorneys was pleased to assist Nonprofitly in its strategic partnership and capital raise. The Gentry Locke deal team was led by Wythe Michael, partner in the firm's Richmond office and Mike Moro, partner in the firm's Norfolk office.
