What Is a Graduation Registry?

Graduation season is a once-in-a-lifetime moment — and now, just like weddings and babies, grads have a smart, secure way to receive meaningful gifts. A graduation registry lets students create a personalized wish list of what they actually want, from cash funds to digital gift cards and practical boosts for real life.

Why Every 2026 Senior Should Have One

Whether you’re heading off to college, landing your first job, or moving out on your own, your family and friends want to support you. A GradFunded registry makes it easy for them to contribute without the guesswork — no checks, no lost mail, no awkward asks. It’s secure, instant, and customized to your next chapter.

What to Add to Your GradFunded Wish List

• Cash gifts in $25, $50, and $100 options
• GradBoosts like “First Apartment Fund” or “Textbook Help”
• Digital gift cards to Target, Amazon, DoorDash, and more
• Your own story, photos, and graduation date

How to Share Your Registry the Right Way

Once your registry is live, you’ll get a unique link you can share by text, email, or social media. Add it to your grad announcements or link it in your Instagram bio. No app required — just one simple link that makes gifting easy for everyone.

GradFunded also includes a built-in thank-you tracker, so you never forget who gave what. Say goodbye to messy spreadsheets!
