For Not-For-Profits

How can actuaries help your organisation?

Some examples of challenges suitable for the actuarial skillset include:

• Finding quantitative ways to measure a charity's program outcomes.
  
• Enabling data-driven decision-making across participating organisations.
  
• Helping solve complex problems using numbers.
  
• Quantitatively measuring and optimising branding and donation impacts.
  
• Projecting and estimating the long-term impact of programs.
  
• Using internal data to help participating charities run as effectively as possible.

What information will we need from you?

• A problem - We'll need a business problem that needs to be solved.
• Data - If possible, a sanitised version of some data relating to the business problem, and/or your existing models or spreadsheets.
• Time - Some of your time to help us understand more about you.

How the Actuarial Hackathon works

Over a two-month period, actuaries brainstorm and research various approaches to address the problem. Once the research stage is over, the teams come together and present their findings at the Actuarial Hackathon Showcase.

Program Structure

• The Hackathon Organising Committee will arrange a consultation to understand your charity's problem and define it more exactly.
  
• The Hackathon Organising Committee will introduce the Hackathon teams to each charity and brief the business problem.
  
• Allow eight weeks to develop a solution, with consulting along the way.
  
• Have a solution pitch and, if there's support from all parties, post-event implementation support.
