SAU29's 403(b) Plan

403(b) plans are a way for employees of schools and other non-profit organizations to contribute money, pre tax, for retirement savings. This type of plan, known as a Defined Contribution plan, allows employees to contribute up to $18,000 per year (employees over age 50 can contribute an additional $6,000) into the funds that best fit their investment goals.

School Administrative Unit 29 is pleased to partner with Fidelity Investments as our exclusive provider of investment options and record keeping services for the SAU29 403b plan. Fidelity is one of the nation's largest mutual fund companies, managing the accounts of more than 18 million investors. Fidelity offers a great combination of low fees, broad investment options, and comprehensive investment assistance to eligible SAU29 employees.
