Sign Up Savers

Your organization can help individuals to save by providing them with the opportunity to sign up as a Saver on your own website using the America Saves pledge form or on our website. When someone pledges to save, they make a basic saving plan, and research shows that people with a plan save more successfully. America Saves will be able to track how many individuals pledge to save on your website and report that information back to you.

Direct people to AmericaSaves.org/pledge or contact America Saves to get a pledge form for your website.

If you would like to include the America Saves pledge form on your website, please contact us at save@americasaves.org with:

  • Your organization name 
  • The website you would like to install the form on
  • Any local America Saves campaign you are working with

NOTE: The pledge form should live on a page dedicated to the form. 

The data we can share with you: Number of people who pledged, zip code, referral source, savings goal, and amount pledged (total and median). You can use this data to describe the savers who pledged through your form, (for example, how many dollars your website visitors pledged to save during America Saves Week). 

What we do with the data: We do not share personal information with anyone. If those pledging to save opt-in, we will send them emails and texts. We also use aggregate saver goals and amounts pledged to show the impact of the campaign.  (America Saves does not track savings accounts.)

Hold a Competition

The University of Illinois Saves campaign developed, in partnership with America Saves, an internet-based communication and engagement strategy to reach faculty and students by setting up a competition among the university’s three campuses. The pilot program encouraged and motivated students, faculty, and staff to set a personal savings commitment and make a simple plan to achieve it by signing up as a University of Illinois Saver. The campus with the most Savers won the competition. The pilot demonstrated significant results in participation and sustainability. While the materials focus on students, this model can be replicated across many different organizations and audiences.

Hold a Workshop or Webinar

TARGET AUDIENCE: INDIVIDUALS

Let America Saves be the action component of your financial education efforts. Use our presentations to encourage members, customers, and employees to save effectively. Presentations review why to save, what to save for, and strategies for saving. And they call on individuals to take financial action by pledging to be a Saver with America Saves. When someone pledges to save, they make a basic saving plan, and people with a plan save more successfully.

TARGET AUDIENCE: ORGANIZATIONS

WORKSHOPS

Multiply your outreach to individuals by promoting America Saves to colleagues within your organization, company, agency, or sector.

WEBINARS

If you are interested in holding a webinar for a network with significant regional or nationwide reach, America Saves can work with you to develop a customized presentation. Please email us to request a webinar.
