Black & Brown Founders Selected To Receive Savings Champion Award by National Savings Program Annual Campaign

Washington, D.C: Black & Brown Founders Inc has earned the 2026 America Saves Week Savings Champion award, an honor explicitly reserved for organizations who effectively and actively promote saving strategies during the annual America Saves Week campaign. 

Black & Brown Founders Inc is one of 20 organizations honored with this distinction, out of more than 5,300 participating organizations of America Saves Week, which took place April 6 – 10, 2026 as part of Financial Literacy Month. 

“We are honored to celebrate these organizations for their leadership and commitment to helping people build stronger financial futures,” said Amy Miller, Director of America Saves. “The success of America Saves Week is made possible by partners who meet consumers where they are and provide practical opportunities to save, plan, and build financial confidence. “These organizations went beyond simply raising awareness; they empowered consumers to take action! Together, we are helping millions of Americans take small steps that lead to lasting financial progress.” 

The work of these organizations contributed to an impressive collective impact during the week. These institutions helped to reach over 22.59 million individuals and encouraged $169 million worth of deposits into new and existing savings accounts.
