The IFoA Foundation needs your support
We are fundraising to ensure talented and committed young people around the world can benefit from access to our profession, regardless of their backgrounds.
We need your help to raise £500,000 over the next 2 years. This will help to fulfil our 3-year-plan ambitions to:
Meeting these ambitions will create powerful connections across the generations and engaging opportunities to celebrate along the way.
Thanks to operational support from the IFoA, 100% of your donations go towards encouraging more young people from all backgrounds to get into actuarial science. That includes studying maths, accessing a first-class actuarial education, and being supported into the profession.
In an unequal world, please help us make actuarial education and careers more inclusive and accessible.
You can donate or fundraise for us via:
UK taxpayers, please GiftAid your donation if you can to increase its value by 25%. If you need it, you can use our Gift Aid declaration form (PDF, 20 KB)

Actuaries are good at lots of things. Are you athletic, creative, adventurous, or curious? There’s a challenge for you and we’d love to support you to complete it to raise money in the spirit of ‘actuaries supporting others’.
Whether it’s a half-marathon, baking mission, knit-athon, or record-breaking office conga line (anyone?), we can help you make it happen and celebrate it across our social channels. And we’ll thank you and your colleagues profusely for your efforts.
Get in touch today or browse a range of sporting events you can take part in on our Run4Charity page.
Newly qualified, new job, or promotion? It’s the ideal time to ‘give back’ and help those who are starting their journeys to qualification and need help to get there.
Make a one-off donation by using the button above. Get in touch to tell us what career landmark you are celebrating and we’ll help you mark it with posts on our LinkedIn and thanks from our beneficiaries.
Does your employer offer match funds for your personal charity donations? Some of our best partners do and it’s a great way to leverage your own desire to give back with your employer’s CSR/I policy.
For larger donations or to discuss strategic philanthropic giving, please contact us at foundation@actuaries.org.uk
We work with actuarial employers, recruiters, and societies where there is synergy with CSR, ESG, DEI, and charitable aims to leverage our joint resources for mutual benefit. Working together enables us to have a greater impact, more efficiently.
