In February of 2019, global consulting and actuarial firm Milliman Inc. announced that it had donated a three-year, $750,000 gift to support The Actuarial Foundation‘s Math Motivators tutoring program, raised entirely by donations from employees and alumni through the Milliman Giving Fund.
The Actuarial Foundation’s Math Motivator program provides free math tutoring to high students who either do not have access to tutoring or cannot afford it.The Math Motivator program relies solely on professional actuaries and college math and actuarial student volunteers, and currently currently runs in Chicago, Hartford, New York, Lincoln/Omaha, Minneapolis/St. Paul, Portland, Maine, and Seattle, and will soon launch in other cities thanks to Milliman’s support.
“Milliman employees have been central to the Math Motivators effort as volunteer tutors,” said Milliman Chief Executive Officer Steve White. “With this donation we are now proudly the lead financial sponsor, enabling the program to expand to new locations. What makes this even more impressive is that the gift is a result of the generosity of our employees and alumni.”
“We are so grateful to Milliman for supporting The Actuarial Foundation through its Giving Fund, and for its commitment to changing lives with math education,” said Jason Leppin, executive director. “Today more than ever, teachers and students need the individualized tutoring, community building, and mentorship this generous grant will provide. This incredible support means more students and teachers will have access to hands-on, personalized tutoring at no cost.”
