About America Saves
America Saves, a campaign coordinated by the Consumer Federation of America; motivates, encourages, and supports households with low- to moderate-income to save money, reduce debt, and build wealth. The research-based campaign uses the principles of behavioral economics and social marketing to change behavior. Non‐profit, government, and corporate groups participate in America Saves nationally and through local, regional, and statewide campaigns around the country. America Saves encourages individuals to take the America Saves pledge and organizations to promote savings year-round and during America Saves Week. America Saves also supports veterans through Veterans Saves, designed to help veterans and their families build financial stability and security.
