America Saves - http://www.americasaves.org/


A nationwide campaign in which a broad coalition of nonprofit, corporate, and government groups helps individuals and families save and build wealth. Through information, advice, and encouragement, we assist those who wish to pay down debt, build an emergency fund, save for a home, save for an education, or save for retirement.

The overall goal of America Saves is to increase the value that institutions and individuals, especially the financially vulnerable, place on saving and wealth-building. A stronger, more widespread saving ethic will encourage people to save and build wealth, thus greatly improving their financial health.
