Get Involved as an Organization

America Saves Week is an annual opportunity to encourage saving, debt reduction and wealth building. Partnerships can be established with local Saves campaigns to offer motivational workshops, posters, brochures and other resources. We encourage partnering with financial institutions that will offer no fee, low opening balance accounts for small savers, IRA’s, CD’s and other savings and investment opportunities, and incentives for people to open or add money to their accounts during the Week.

Participate by sponsoring Build Wealth Not Debt Workshops offered by local Saves Campaigns. Invite a financial institution or intuitions to present their savings and wealth building products. Ask Financial educators to present their classes and above all:  Encourage people to take financial action through saving, debt reduction and wealth building.
