Subsidy for regional communities

The activities of regional communities are highly valued by the IFoA and are an important feature of a professional membership organisation. In recognition of the contribution that regional communities make to the actuarial profession, Council has committed to providing them with ongoing financial support

From March 2017, the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (IFoA) have offered each regional community £5 per annum for every active member of their community

This is to enable regional communities to develop the range and number of events, professional networking and lifelong learning opportunities for IFoA members.

What qualifies as a regional community?

The IFoA's definition of a regional community is:

A Regional Community is a group of members who have come together either virtually or in person and who have a common interest in providing a regional or cultural hub for actuarial development, both professionally and socially, with the support and encouragement of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries.
