Building a better future
Health and financial well-being have no borders. That’s why we’re committed through our work and partnerships to addressing issues that have a global impact.
Our employees are driving innovation in climate resiliency, breaking barriers for underrepresented people in our industry, and partnering with the United Nations Global Compact. As we strive to protect the health and financial well-being of people everywhere, we remain committed to our mission.
Three Pillars: Our commitment for creating social impact
A spirit of social responsibility has permeated Milliman’s DNA since its founding in 1947. Three pillars represent our commitment:
Our Work – In our client work, we live our mission at its core through projects to design crop insurance that protects Ethiopian farmers from loss of income, closing the inequality gap for women in retirement planning, and developing better coverage for flood insurance.
Our People – We nurture and celebrate employees through activities that promote diversity and inclusion. We’re committed to increasing underrepresented people in our industry through scholarship programs and sponsorships of the International Association of Black Actuaries and the Organization of Latino Actuaries. Education and mentoring programs, including Milliman University and the Milliman Mentorship Program, help employees grow in their careers. We’ve also implemented Employee Resource Groups to identify, support, and increase diversity within our organization.
Our World – We contribute to our communities through volunteer activities with the Milliman Giving Fund, provide funding for global relief efforts such as our Global Coronavirus Support 2020, and address climate change through the Milliman Climate Resilience Initiative.

Transforming communities
United Nations Global Compact
In 2019, Milliman amplified its commitment to social responsibility. We signed on to the United Nations Global Compact, committing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) that aim to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all. The UNSDGs are a natural extension of Milliman’s mission to protect the health and financial well-being of people everywhere.
Milliman Giving Fund
The employee- and retiree-funded Milliman Giving Fund amplifies our mission by supporting transformative programs to improve communities’ health, education, and economic development worldwide. We have granted more than $3 million to signature projects and partners in key focus areas. At this time, the Milliman Giving Fund only accepts proposals by request.
Opportunity International – Opportunity Zone
The Milliman Giving fund partners with Opportunity International to fuel economic transformation for impoverished parents and children in Uganda and Colombia. From 2019–2021, we provided a grant to fund an Opportunity Zone in Mityana, Uganda. It combines high-impact education and rural finance programs to create jobs, increase parental incomes, and improve education, helping communities and families build a better future faster. We awarded another grant covering 2022-2024, building on the progress of the Mityana zone and initiating a new one in Cartagena, Colombia.
The Actuarial Foundation – Math Motivators
The free Math Motivators tutoring program pairs lower-income students with volunteer math tutors. Since 2018, the Milliman Giving Fund has helped Math Motivators reach more than 1,000 students annually in 22 states and add virtual tutoring, drop-in centers, expanded grade levels, test prep, multilingual tutoring, and the Money Mentors financial literacy program. Milliman employees and retirees also volunteer as tutors in many cities.
Partners in Health – Navajo Nation
Partners in Health supports the Navajo Nation in addressing health disparities affecting one of America’s largest indigenous communities. The program works with a Native-run nonprofit to strengthen the health system and improve the lives of those living with chronic diseases.
Splash – Project WISE
Project WISE is a multi-year effort by Splash to bring clean drinking water, sanitation, and menstrual hygiene education to every public school in Kolkata, India and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Milliman provided the most significant corporate grant to Project WISE for 2021-2023.
