The Actuarial Foundation

We're employing actuarial skills in the public interest.

The Foundation's consumer education initiatives help promote public understanding of some of today's most pressing social issues. Through partnerships, our initiatives focus on providing information in areas where there are gaps in consumer knowledge and understanding.

By using actuarial science to contribute to finding workable solutions, we provide insight for consumers to make informed decisions, to exercise prudent use of their financial resources, and/or to efficiently manage changing economic situations.

Our consumer education efforts reflect our profession's commitment to the public good.
