AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust LLC (AWM&T) has earned the 2024 Veteran Saves Week Savings Champion Award, an honor explicitly reserved for organizations that effectively and actively promote money-saving strategies during the annual Veteran Saves Week campaign.
AWM&T is one of 16 organizations honored with this distinction out of more than 887 participating organizations of Veteran Saves Week, which took place November 12 – 15, 2024 as part of National Military Appreciation Month.
“We’re excited to honor these organizations with the 2024 Savings Champion Award,” said Krystel Spell, the Program Manager of Veteran Saves. “Their commitment to the Veteran Community is making a real difference. By introducing practical and innovative savings strategies during Veteran Saves Week, they've helped our veterans move towards financial stability. It’s more than just saving money; it’s about giving the community the tools they need to build a secure and thriving future. We celebrate their dedication and the significant impact they've made on the lives of those who've served our nation.”
Veteran Saves Week Financial Impact
AWM&T contributed to an impressive collective impact of the week, held during the four-day timeframe following Veterans Day. Participating institutions helped to reach over 4.1 million individuals and encouraged nearly $1.7 million worth of deposits into new and existing savings accounts. Additionally, $418,000 was pledged to be saved into savings accounts toward savings goals for the remainder of 2024.
"Our mission at AAFMAA Wealth Management & Trust remains steadfast: to help military families and Veterans achieve and maintain financial security and independence. The transition from Military Saves Week to Veteran Saves Week underscores the importance of supporting our Veterans in their financial journeys. Partnering with Veteran Saves aligns perfectly with our goals. We're proud to be part of this effort," said Steve Mannell, President of AWM&T and former Chief of Operations for the U.S. Army Special Forces Command.
