At Foresters FinancialTM we help everyday families achieve their long-term financial goals. But we’re more than an international financial services provider. Through our heritage as a fraternal benefit society, we have a global network of members that is more than two million strong. To become a Foresters member, you can apply as part of the purchase of a life insurance product underwritten by The Independent Order of Foresters, which is a fraternal benefit society. Members enjoy unique member benefits1 including competitive academic scholarships, financial counseling and discounted legal services as well as opportunities to give back through volunteering opportunities.
Every year, we share our financial success to improve family well-being for our global network of member families and the communities where they live. In 2018 alone, Foresters invested more than $626 million2 in claims and member benefits including $1.85 million in competitive scholarships for students in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. We also provided over $3.84 million towards community initiatives such as Care Packages, Community Beautification, Create & Construct, Meal Help and Volunteer Support activities and Fun Family events where our members can spend quality time with their families at no cost.
From our start over 140 years ago, we have helped families build financial security, help each other and make a difference in their communities. Almost a century-and-a-half later, this commitment still sets us apart. We’re not another faceless financial institution. We stand for something more.
