Andson

Andson is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2009 with the purpose of improving academic achievement and financial literacy among at-risk youth in Southern Nevada. Our core programs include:

Andson Money - Our flagship financial literacy program is designed to help fill the gap in financial literacy education among youth in Southern Nevada. During the 2016-2017 school year, we served more than 4,500 youth and at community centers, schools, and other locations, providing effective financial learning based on a nationally recognized curriculum.

The Piggy Bank Program - The Piggy Bank Program combines monthly financial literacy education with weekly savings opportunities - a real savings account for every child in the school, which lets them make deposits once a week. The combination of practice and learning, targeted at an age where the lessons will have the longest-lasting impact, reinforces the children’s good habits and even encourages these children’s families to start saving.

Andson Academics - Through after school homework help and small-group tutoring, Andson is able to provide educational support services for students during the entire school year. The Andson Academics program targets low-income, at-risk students who are far below their peers in grade level literacy and math skills.
