Partnerships
Teaming up for a better future
We’re better off when we work together and pursue what drives us. That’s why we partner with research-driven organizations that are leaders in their fields. It’s also why we champion active lifestyles through professional golf sponsorships.
"Never before has there been as much connected, intergenerational decision-making navigating education, career transitions, estate planning, caregiving, housing, legacy, wealth transfer, and so much more."

Our research partnerships
We work closely with organizations like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Georgetown University, and Transamerica Institute to tap into the latest learnings and science affecting people’s finances and health.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology AgeLab
Longer retirements mean more careful planning. Our work with MIT AgeLab helps customers better understand the challenges and opportunities of longevity and how they might factor into their future. Our collaboration includes a focus on caregiving and its financial impact.
Transamerica Institute®
This nonprofit, private foundation is dedicated to researching and educating the public about health and wellness, employment financial literacy, longevity, and retirement.
Georgetown University’s AgingWell Hub
Our work with the AgingWell Hub has helped create the Cost of Alzheimer’s Care Calculator and mapped out what to expect as a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer’s disease. It also turned up key insights into Gen Z and Millennials, like how they’re prioritizing employee benefits and job flexibility as a result of the pandemic.
Insights from Transamerica's partners
Our pro golf sponsorships
Athletes remind us of the amazing things we can do when we prioritize our passions. So we’re proud to support golfers who share our commitment to healthy futures by sponsoring members of the PGA and LPGA.
“To have the privilege to lead 12 of the greatest U.S. players at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome is something I look forward to with immense excitement, pride, and gratitude. I’ve been fortunate to do a lot of cool things in the game of golf, all of which have been alongside Transamerica.”

Zach Johnson
Zach Johnson’s remarkable career has taken him from Drake University to 12 PGA TOUR victories, including two majors, as well as being named the 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup team captain. His journey, which includes appearances in seven Ryder Cups — five as a player and two as vice-captain — and four Presidents Cups, has showcased an unwavering dedication to golf, sportsmanship, family, and his hometown community of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It’s no wonder he was awarded the prestigious 2020 Payne Stewart Award.
We began sponsoring Zach in 2004. He won the 2007 Masters and the 2015 Open Championship. Zach also founded the Zach Johnson Foundation and Kids on Course, a program that’s putting more than 1,000 disadvantaged students on a path to post-secondary education. We’re proud to sponsor the Zach Johnson Foundation Classic, benefiting Kids on Course. Many of our employees also staff the charity event as volunteers each year.
