Foresters Story
 
For 135 years, ForestersTM has been guided by a very powerful principle: the growth and prosperity of its members and their families are linked to the communities in which they live.

A fraternal benefit society:
  • Is a not-for-profit membership- based organization.
  • Members who share a common bond.
  • Maintains a lodge system (known as local chapters or branches).
  • Offers life insurance to its members.
  • Offers mutual aid programs for the benefit of its members and the community at large.
Foresters is a fraternal benefit society — a member-based insurance organization — with a rich history of investing in the financial security of its members and sharing with the communities in which they live.

From the very beginning, Foresters has focused its energies on assisting its members and their families, encouraging fellowship and cooperation among all members, and sharing its financial strength and prosperity with communities in need. These are the principles of Foresters Common Bond, or purpose.

Get More - The Foresters Difference
With a financial product from Foresters, you become a member. Foresters members become part of a Foresters branch closest to where they live. Eligible members are encouraged to participate in the organization's governance matters, vote in the election of Branch Officers and participate in decisions that impact their branch.

Members may also gain access to complimentary member benefits and other opportunities not usually available from traditional insurance providers:
Complimentary member benefits such as critical illness and terminal illness benefits, scholarships and young family member benefits.
Another important benefit of Foresters membership is the opportunity for personal development, social interaction and voluntary service to others through Foresters-sponsored events and fun family activities. Learn more about the Foresters Difference.

Foresters in the Community
Each year, Foresters invests millions in supporting various community causes in Canada, the U.S. and the U.K. Through direct investment in national and local community partnerships, branch funding and educational scholarships, we make a difference. And, Foresters involvement goes beyond corporate donations — we get involved! Foresters provides opportunities for branches and members to participate in local community initiatives through our volunteer network. Members volunteer their time, expertise and passion in numerous charitable projects and events each year. Learn more about Foresters in the Community.
