How it works
Name a goal for one child ("Maya's first bike," "a season of soccer," "summer camp"), set an amount, and add a short note about what it is for. CoreParent gives you a private link with a friendly preview you can text or email to anyone.
Whoever you send it to chips in right there, in seconds, with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card. No app to install, no account to create. A little piggy fills a progress bar as the gifts come in, and when the goal is reached, there is a celebration you can share back with everyone who helped.
Your people, not your ex
This is the part no other co-parenting app does. A Piggy Bank is yours. It is private from your co-parent by default, so there is no negotiation, no permission to ask, and no sides to take. You are simply inviting the people who love your child and want to help.
Every other co-parenting app only helps two parents split a bill between themselves. CoreParent lets your whole support network show up for your kid, on your terms. Nothing is shared with the other parent unless you decide to share it.
Every dollar accounted for
The people who give deserve to know their gift landed. Contributors see the goal and the progress, the money is tied to the goal you named, and you can see who gave and leave them a thank-you. A small fee covers secure payment processing, and contributors can choose to cover it so the full amount reaches your child.
It is the honest alternative to a gift card that gets lost in a drawer: birthday money that actually goes toward the thing your kid is excited about. Contributions run on the same trusted, encrypted foundation as the rest of CoreParent, with records you can independently verify.
Made for one-household reality
A Piggy Bank works even if you are the only parent using CoreParent, which is how most people start. See co-parenting solo. It lives right alongside your custody calendar, shared expenses, and family records, so the goals you are saving toward sit next to the everyday work of raising your kids.
Create a separate Piggy Bank for each child and each occasion, and bring it back every birthday, season, and milestone.
Common questions
Does my co-parent see my Piggy Bank?
No. Piggy Banks are private by default, like the rest of your CoreParent information. Your co-parent is not involved and cannot see it unless you specifically choose to share it. This is your side and your call.
Who can contribute, and do they need the app?
Anyone you send the link to. There is no app to install and no account to create. They open the link, see your child's goal, and chip in with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card in a few seconds.
Is there a fee?
A small platform fee plus standard payment processing covers running it securely. Contributors can choose to cover that fee at checkout, so the full amount they intend reaches your child.
What can I use a Piggy Bank for?
Any real goal for your child: a birthday gift, a season of a sport or an activity, a school trip, a big purchase, or simply building a cushion. Naming something specific, like Maya's bike for $300, is what makes family want to help.
What happens when the goal is reached?
You get a celebration you can share back with everyone who chipped in, and the money is yours to put toward the goal you set. You can start a new Piggy Bank anytime, for the next occasion.
