America Saves Week is February 24-29. Take advantage of free resources that will help employees of all ages meet their financial goals.

Have you heard of America Saves Week? It’s an event that helps people like your employees save money. It encourages financial health. It helps people build wealth. And, it doesn’t cost you anything to implement!

Why it makes sense

When you consider the fact that 40% of Americans don’t have access to even $400 cash in an emergency, it’s clear that helping people save money makes sense.

Who started America Saves Week?

America Saves Week is the creation of the Consumer Federation of America, a non-profit organization. It uses the principles of behavioral economics and social marketing to motivate, encourage and support everyday Americans to save money, reduce debt and create better financial habits. To put it another way, they show people why saving is important and provide a path to actually save.

How your organization can get on board

You can start a savings conversation with your employees by participating in America Saves Week. The campaign encourages savers to start small and think big.

Participation is open to all organizations. And, it doesn’t cost you a dime. When you get on board, you get a free digital toolkit.

The digital toolkit includes resources like flyers and daily videos you can share directly with your team. Each day has a theme:

• Monday: Save Automatically
• Tuesday: Save with a Plan
• Wednesday: Save for the Unexpected
• Thursday: Save to Retire
• Friday: Save by Reducing Debt

Plus, you you’ll get hashtags of the day like #Save4TheUnexpected, and you’ll show your employees how to #ThinkLikeASaver.
