Washington, D.C. — July 2025 — America Saves is proud to announce the recipients of the 2025 America Saves Week Designation of Savings Excellence (DOSE) and Savings Champion Awards. These recognitions are awarded to financial institutions and organizations that went above and beyond in promoting savings habits and financial confidence in their communities during America Saves Week, held this year from April 7-11, 2025.
Now in its 18th year, America Saves Week continues to serve as a catalyst for individuals, families, and organizations across the country to take action toward their financial well-being. This year’s campaign reached more than 28.5 million individuals, inspired $155 million in reported savings, and brought together 5,046 participating organizations, making it the most impactful America Saves Week to date.
"We are thrilled to honor these outstanding financial institutions for their commitment to helping Americans build better saving habits," said Amy Miller, Program Manager at America Saves. "These awardees didn’t just participate—they activated real behavior change by making saving accessible, actionable, and inclusive in their communities. Their leadership is at the heart of this movement."
The Designation of Savings Excellence (DOSE) is awarded to banks and credit unions that successfully encouraged individuals to open or add to savings accounts during the campaign. The Savings Champion Award recognizes organizations and employers for creative and impactful programming that inspired financial action among their audiences.
In addition, Bank of America was selected as the sole recipient of the 2025 Community Impact Award, recognizing its deep and measurable investment in financial health initiatives throughout the year and especially during America Saves Week.
