What it does

The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) is an association of non-profit consumer organizations that was established in 1968 to advance the consumer interest through research, advocacy, and education. See Schedule O for continuation

CFA Programs- CFA Programs advance the consumer interest through research, advocacy, and education. Education - CFA disseminates information on consumer issues to the public and the media as well as to policymakers and other public interest advocates. This is achieved by national social marketing campaigns, national education information and distribution, conferences, reports, news releases and by website. Research - CFA investigates consumer issues, behaviors and attitudes using surveys, polling, focus groups, and literature reviews. The findings assist consumer advocates and policymakers as well as individual consumers. This research also provides the basis for consumer information and education efforts.See Schedule O for continuation.
America Saves- America Saves is a campaign that motivates, encourages, and supports low- to moderate-income households to save money, reduce debt, and build wealth. The research-based campaign uses the principles of behavioral economics and social marketing to change behavior. Non-profit, government, and corporate groups participate in America Saves nationally and through local, regional, and statewide campaigns around the country. America Saves encourages individuals to take the America Saves pledge and organizations to promote savings year-round and during America Saves Week.See Schedule O for continuation.
