KidsFutures

 

David Lacey, who drives the No. 61 TRG East Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car, is the
president of KidsFutures, a consumer-rewards program that enables Canadian
families to save money for their children's post-secondary education.
Members purchase food, clothing and other goods and services from designated
manufacturers and retailers, and earn cash rewards that are eligible for the
tax-sheltered Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). A government grant
program can add another 20 to 40 per cent.

 

"There's a massive need for education savings in Canada," Lacey said. "We
also have one of the richest grant programs in the civilized world through
the RESP. The proposition is significantly enhanced when you consider for
every dollar you put in, the government is going to contribute 20 per cent."
