Diversity Matters
The Actuarial Foundation is committed to ensuring its programs are intentionally built and executed with a goal of promoting diversity,
equity and inclusion.

There is much work to be done to close the opportunity gap in the United States.
The Actuarial Foundation is committed to its action-oriented mission and will continue to provide more math education opportunities for underserved communities and promote diversity within the actuarial profession through our scholarship programs.
Reflecting on the wisdom and grace of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others’?”
It is our mission to enhance math education through the talents and resources of actuaries. We pledge to move forward with service and with honor.


A commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The Actuarial Foundation is committed to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion through programs that build mathematical excellence, financial literacy, and confidence in math’s possibilities. Math is a universal language that can create opportunities and a sense of belonging for young people and those who support and inspire them.
Opportunities for Action
Promotes diversity within the profession through an annual scholarship program for Black/African American, Latinx, Native North American and Pacific Islander students.
Through STEM Stars, we believe we can move the needle on diversity in the actuarial profession by providing support that starts in high school, extends into college and continues through a career.

Social Justice in Education
The Actuarial Foundation supports inclusivity in math education. In this video from the 2019 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Annual Meeting, Dr. Talithia Williams talks about equity and social justice in education while exploring strategies to create a math classroom that is inclusive of students from a variety of backgrounds.
The Actuarial Foundation is a Joint Effort
Since 2004, The Actuarial Foundation has received unwavering support from the U.S. actuarial organizations. Their trust and dedication to the Foundation’s mission are key elements to our continued growth and success as the philanthropy for actuaries in the United States.
