West Virginia Saves: a state-wide social marketing campaign established in June, West Virginia Saves provides tools and tips to help West Virginia Savers reach their personal financial goals. Over 6,200 people have become West Virginia Savers. About Us

Financial institutions, faith-based organizations, employers, schools, nonprofit organizations, government entities, and others work together to motivate individuals and families to save, build wealth, and reduce debt. The campaign targets low- and moderate-income individuals but is open to everyone recognizing that we as Americans are experiencing low savings rates. Goals may include debt repayment, a college education, homeownership, retirement savings, or even something much more modest. Savers do not need to open a new account in order to register. They can have previously established accounts. EITC awareness is promoted as a way to help families build wealth and to take advantage of VITA sites. One large part of the campaign’s mission is to encourage homeownership since this can build wealth for both current and future generations of a family. West Virginia Savers tell us what their savings goal is; we then help them stay on track. More About Us
