AEGON TRANSAMERICA FOUNDATION

"Be well" applies to our communities, too
We're committed to helping improve the wellness of our communities.

Transamerica believes our responsibilities extend beyond our corporate walls. That's why we created the Aegon Transamerica Foundation in 1994. Through a combination of financial grants and the volunteer commitment of our employees, this foundation supports nonprofit organizations focused on the education, health, and well-being of the communities where we live and work.

Categories of support

Our foundation grant dollars support nonprofit organizations in the following categories.

Arts & Culture

Programs that foster creativity in the areas of music and performing arts; greater accessibility to the arts for youth and the underserved; support for venues that promote artistic expression.

Civic & Community

Programs that encourage community development and support civic engagement and leadership; initiatives that promote greater quality of life within the communities in which Transamerica employees live and work.

Education & Financial Literacy

Programs that provide and promote education and personal development opportunities, especially in the areas of financial literacy.

Health & Wellness

Programs committed to improving the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities by promoting health awareness and education; healthy nutrition; medical services and disease prevention.

Human Services

Programs that provide or promote access to essential human needs and services (i.e., access to housing, food, clothing, and job skills training).

United Way

Along with leading an annual campaign, employees' contributions are matched by at least 50%.

In addition to the areas above, a special fund may be established for employee donations, often matched dollar-for-dollar, and provided to an organization assisting in disaster relief efforts.

In 2016, the Aegon Transamerica Foundation donated $6,898,498.

Habitat for Humanity
We're building more than just healthy habits. Over the years, Transamerica employees nationwide have volunteered their time, energy, and spirit to help families build houses with Habitat for Humanity. In 2016-2017, Transamerica sponsored the first ever full house build in Denver from start to finish, making the home a little more affordable for the family of Francis and Schola.

Junior Achievement

We make learning about good spending and saving habits fun. Transamerica is proud to be the title sponsor of Junior Achivement's JA Finance Park to promote financial literacy. Students become an adult for a day and immerse themselves in a reality-based decision-making process that involves budgeting, investments, philanthropy, banking, and more. Transamerica employee and JA board member Brian Florey says, “My experience with Junior Achievement has given me a genuine sense of optimism with regard to the next generation’s ability to grow and expand our economy, as well as enrich our workforce.”

United Way

Giving until it helps: Transamerica has an annual campaign where employees’ total contributions are matched at least 50% by the company. In 2017, we also partnered with the United Way for our disaster relief initiatives in Houston, St. Petersburg, and Puerto Rico. Many of our advisory committees also support various UW programs and services. Total giving to this organization last year was approximately $750,000.

Go-Givers

Starting last to help others finish first: The Go-Giver is Transamerica’s signature program combining the challenge of running a half marathon with the pride of supporting a great charity. The Transamerica Go-Givers start the race dead last. For every racer they pass, Transamerica donates $1 to a strategic nonprofit partner such as the American Heart Association.
