"quench the thirst"
for high school classrooms

Please join The Actuarial Foundation in this effort to have actuaries make a difference in communities across the country.

 

Today, teens spend nearly 30% of their monthly income just on debt repayment. that is double the percent spent in 1992.

Business people and high school teachers recognize the importance of helping students to become financially literate. At a time of widespread financial challenges, our teens must be taught how to manage money wisely so they can make smart decisions today and in the future. That's why the Foundation developed Building Your Future, an engaging and relevant high school financial literacy curriculum resource.

You can give teens a reservoir of financial knowledge they can draw upon for the rest of their lives by joining the Foundation's "Quench The Thirst " campaign. Your gift of $250 provides one high school classroom with the Building Your Future curriculum. Materials can be sent to one of the hundreds of high schools requesting to receive a donated classroom set, or you may select a high school of your choosing, if you wish.

Please join this effort and make a difference in communities across the country. Teachers are asking for and appreciate your generosity. To view the many schools requesting to receive classroom sets of the Building Your Future curriculum please click here.
