Washington Saves Week is a part of the America Saves Week campaign coordinated by America Saves and the America Savings Education Council.
Started in 2007, the week is an annual opportunity for organizations to promote good savings behavior and a chance for individuals to assess their own saving status. Across the country, hundreds of organizations participate in the week reaching millions of people.
The campaign theme "Set a Goal. Make a Plan. Save Automatically." is aimed at reminding consumers to utilize the automatic payroll deduction options at their place of employment to begin building an emergency fund, create a retirement fund or develop a targeted savings fund for their future.
