North Carolina Saves
North Carolina Saves is an initiative of The Collaborative - Creating a Culture of Savings.
In NC, we are on a mission to educate, support and encourage people in their efforts to take control of their finances. Good financial management includes knowledge and practice. Throughout the state, people are learning about financial principles ranging from credit and debt, to budgeting and investing. The practice part is where savings comes in. Together, we can learn how to make savings a regular part of our routines, so that we prosper, both individually and collectively.
