According to a 2018 National Financial Capability Study, 48% of individuals in Nevada lack a “rainy day” fund to cover emergencies such as sickness, job loss, or economic downturn. In addition to this, 67% are unable to answer more than three of the five questions correctly on a basic financial literacy quiz covering aspects of finance encountered in everyday life.
Andson’s mission is to fill that gap and increase the financial literacy of all Nevadans. Take a look at the progress students in our Piggy Bank Program have made in their savings since our inception.
