The Savings Coalition of America was established in 1991 to support incentives to increase personal savings in the United States. The Savings Coalition is organized for nonprofit purposes [501(c)(6)] to serve as a business league to promote common interests through legislation. The Coalition’s activities are funded through contributions from its membership organizations. Currently, there are approximately 75 member organizations of the Savings Coalition representing a wide variety of private interests including banking, securities, financial services, consumer groups, engineering, home-building, realtors, intangible assets, trust companies, health care industry, insurance, education and business groups. Its main objective is to win passage of expanded savings incentives by the U.S. Congress and signed by the President. The rate of savings in America has decreased substantially since 1986. The current personal savings rate is approximately 4% of disposable income. Studies have shown that most Americans are not financially prepared for retirement. Savings incentives will promote self-reliance by encouraging individuals to prepare for retirement while at the same time providing the U.S. economy with the investment capital it needs to grow. All organizations that support promoting incentives to increase the level of personal savings in this country are invited to join the Savings Coalition of America.
