Why OppJar?
We believe it takes a community to prepare a child for success in adulthood, and we want parents to feel supported on this journey. OppJar enables your “village” to fill a virtual jar with opportunity for any child--in the form of photos, recordings, written messages, and money. At the age of 18, the child is invited to open the jar, collect their gifts, and pursue their dreams. College? Start-up? Olympic world record? The sky's the limit.
OppJar was envisioned by parents seeking a convenient way to engage their parent-support village of family, friends, and neighbors to collectively build a strong foundation for their child's future--all while using today's modern technology that we depend on daily: our mobile phones.
What is OppJar?
OppJar is an application that allows parents the opportunity to (i) archive memories for their children as they grow into adulthood and (ii) crowdfund cash gifts (“Gifts”) into a UGMA/UTMA custodial account for their children.
