With the generosity of our partners and supporters, the IFoA Foundation can reach its vision to open every door for the next generation of actuaries and to empower the profession to be transformative in addressing the greatest global challenges of our time. Thank you to everyone in our community who has committed their support to our charitable objectives.

Partnering with the IFoA Foundation allows us to do the right thing, not only for our people and clients, but also for the future of the actuarial profession. We are proud to play our part in creating a more inclusive actuarial community and promoting diversity so that everyone who chooses our profession is inspired to share their passion, talent and ideas regardless of any barriers they may face.
We are committed to promoting diversity and creating a more inclusive actuarial community.
As a firm we’re committed to building better futures, together. Access to better opportunities for young people, regardless of background or experience, is key to improving diversity and inclusion both within our profession and more widely. The aims of the IFoA Foundation are a great match with the work we support through our own Foundation, helping to improve the lives of young people and communities facing hardship or disadvantage.
LCP places real importance on promoting a diverse and inclusive culture internally, and across our industry as a whole, so we are delighted to be working alongside the IFoA on this fantastic initiative. By creating opportunities for young actuaries from a broad range of social and ethnic backgrounds and by promoting social mobility, we will consequently increase the power of our profession to address critical issues and societal challenges.
Milliman is very excited to be partnering with the IFOA Foundation. We see the IFoA Foundation as a critical way to advance our diversity and inclusion and CSR goals.
I am delighted to support the Foundation during my year as President, and to do my part at this poignant moment and against the backdrop of an extraordinary and unprecedented year. We have a real focus on supporting the actuarial profession, both in the UK and overseas, and can bring so much good from this initiative.
I have proudly used the initials FIA since I qualified. I have really enjoyed my work, which has allowed me to help many clients in relation to their pension provision.
I remember the Institute of Actuaries motto by Bacon (Every man is a debtor to his profession) and for many years I have been a volunteer for the Institute and Faculty, giving my time to different committees. I have now retired and, to express my gratitude, I have gifted a lump sum to the IFoA Foundation. I share the Foundation’s aim of giving bursaries and grants to those studying the actuarial examinations and others in financial hardship as well as rewarding excellence. The Foundation aims to help those in the UK (my current home) but also new students from India (my spiritual home) as well as Africa (the continent of my birth and youth).
I am delighted to support the IFoA Foundation.
The IFoA Foundation’s China and South-East Asia Fund aims to provide bursaries to actuarial students in the region. The IFoA’s educational approach and influence in this part of the world has progressed well in the last three decades. I hope this initiative will go some way to make the IFoA’s programmes even more accessible to students in their early careers and enhance the IFoA’s presence in this region.
Thanks to the overwhelming support received from generous philanthropists who have kindly contributed to the IFoA Foundation China & South-East Asia Scholarship Fund, the Foundation aims to reach 1,000 students in 10 years.
Our sincere gratitude goes out to all those who have supported us, enabling us to open doors for the next generation by giving opportunities to aspiring actuaries and promoting actuarial science in the region.
