The mission of the Actuarial Foundation of Canada is to promote youth awareness and education in mathematics and financial matters, to advance the public’s understanding of financial and risk-related matters, and to research societal issues involving risk and to advance actuarial knowledge in the interest of the public.

The Actuarial Foundation of Canada -AFC- was founded in December 2003 to support youth education, consumer education, and research initiatives that utilize actuarial science and skills in the public interest. The actuarial profession plays a unique and important role within our community as a whole. Our profession is something for which we can all be justly proud. At this time, however, a crisis is occurring across many professions and countries as professionalism is being called into question. Standards are being eroded and some have forgotten what it means to be professional. The public service focus of AFC programs and initiatives will reflect well on the image of individual actuaries, the actuarial profession, and the Canadian Institute of Actuaries (CIA).
