Andson

What Andson does

Andson was a Las Vegas-based nonprofit organization founded in 2010 that provided free academic tutoring, homework help, and financial literacy programs to K-12 students and families in the Las Vegas community. Over its 15-year operational history, the organization served 113,000 students, delivered 270,212 tutoring sessions, and helped students save $971,547 through its programs, including the Piggy Bank Program. The organization also developed Openvest, a comprehensive elementary financial literacy curriculum designed to fill gaps in traditional education, which remains freely available at openvest.org for teachers and families.

Andson's business model was entirely donor-funded, with all services provided at no cost to students and families. The organization operated through a community-based go-to-market approach, delivering in-person tutoring sessions and maintaining a web-based curriculum platform. The organization received minimal disclosed funding, with the only known event being a $20,000 grant from Federal Home Loan Bank of San Francisco in 2019. The organization ceased operations in 2025, with inquiries now directed to individuals named Anthony and Sonia for former grant recipients, donors, community partners, and Piggy Bank Program users.

The organization's technology infrastructure consisted of the Openvest web-based financial literacy platform, distributed freely to teachers and families globally. Its distribution model combined direct in-person service delivery in the Las Vegas region with a self-serve digital platform for the Openvest curriculum. Founder Sonia Anderson led the organization as founder and CEO, supported by a Board of Directors and dedicated staff.
