Who We Are

Texas Saves was founded to address the decline of savings in Texas and the poor score our state received in the area of net worth and asset building. Texas Saves works to promote asset development and wealth building among working individuals and families.

This decline is especially troubling because most Texas households have accumulated minimal assets that will allow them to survive a financial crisis and to have an adequate living into retirement. They have difficulty investing in a college education or a business that can help them improve their economic condition.

In the absence of improvement, our community may pay a high price ranging from larger income transfer to crime-related costs. The goal of Texas Saves is to convince all persons, including youth and children, that they can save, get out of debt, and build assets by becoming a Saver, and to assist them through our financial action program to do so.
