America Saves Week 2009

Got savings? That's the question local extension educators in 31 states sent an estimated 12 million youth and adults during America Saves Week, February 22-March 1, 2009. A report of extension's planned activities is available on the NIFA Web site. The Consumer Federation of America is the lead organization for America Saves; among their partners, extension led the most extensive effort to motivate Americans to build wealth, not debt. Also, thousands of Americans at free-tax preparation sites learned how to save using the split tax refund. At the national level, eXtension announced where extension educators offer unbiased help with financial questions 24/7, 365 days a year.
