Enroll Now to be an American Saver
America Saves Week is a week-long campaign to promote savings for future financial goals, particularly by low and moderate income U.S. households. It will run from February 20-27, 2011 under the leadership of the Consumer Federation of America and participating Saves campaigns in cities, counties, and states around the United States.
New Jersey Saves Week (NJSW) is organized by the New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education (NJCFE). It includes information and events designed to promote savings by New Jersey residents, including financial programs for consumers conducted by NJCFE member organizations and promotion of the direct deposit of tax refunds at volunteer income tax assistance (VITA) sites. A Web site with information about savings and related topics will be available year-round and a week of special events to promote savings will be conducted annually.
The objectives of New Jersey Saves Week are to:
- Create an awareness in New Jersey of personal finance topics, especially the need for regular savings
- Encourage New Jersey residents to save money and enroll as American Savers (www.AmericaSaves.org)
- Increase visibility for the New Jersey Coalition for Financial Education and its member organizations
- Establish a New Jersey Saves Week Web site, linked to America Saves, for ongoing savings promotion in New Jersey
