At Transamerica, we’ve been empowering people to feel better about their future for more than 100 years. But we believe our responsibility goes far beyond financial wellness. That’s why we are proud to support organizations such as the Denver Center for the Performing Arts (DCPA). In the spirit of inspiring others to live well and pursue their passions, Transamerica is in its second year supporting grants to aspiring young playwrights and their teachers taking part in the DCPA’s Regional High School Playwriting Workshop and Competition. While the competition focuses on creative literacy, Transamerica also enjoys promoting financial literacy. Through Junior Achievement-Rocky Mountain, Transamerica employees help middle and high school students develop good budgeting, spending, and savings habits to build a strong foundation for prosperous futures. And as some volunteers take to the classroom, others hammer nails to build actual foundations with Habitat for Humanity. In 2017, Transamerica employees helped construct two Habitat homes in Denver. “Having a safe, comfortable, and affordable place to live is a key component in overall well-being and long-term financial security,” said Marijn Smit, head of Transamerica Asset Management. “We call that the connection between wealth and health.” Transamerica continues to make overall wellness a central part of everything we do. After all, what good is wealth if you’re not healthy enough to enjoy it?
