What we do

First and foremost, Utah Saves encourages and assists individuals to save and build wealth. We do that at both local and statewide levels. We get out the message and deliver services in three ways:

Public Awareness: Through mass media and grassroots efforts, create widespread public awareness that saving money and planning for your financial security is a must. Motivate the public to begin saving toward a goal and enroll as a Utah Saver.

Coordination: Bring together the many great financial education and wealth-building programs already available locally. Provide a safe gateway for all Utahns at any income level to find the specific tools they need, and help existing programs have greater reach and impact.

Programs & Services: Offer support tools that complement existing financial education programs. These tools are available to all Utah Savers and include:

  • Access to asset-building programs that match savings, assist with tax preparation, enable low-income families to take advantage of federal Earned Income Credits that are available, etc.
  • A wide range of no-fee or reduced-fee financial products including: savings accounts, mutual funds, IRAs, etc.
