Founded in 1874, Foresters is a fraternal benefit society that offers life insurance products and annuities to customers in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada.

But aside from providing coverage to its members, Foresters also puts a large emphasis on philanthropy in the local communities. Whether members are joining forces to build teddy bears for needy children, rebuilding playgrounds, awarding money to students, or starting neighborhood beautification projects, Foresters members, employees and executives are ready to help out any way possible.

Recently, 400 Foresters members from North America and the United Kingdom took a cruise to Alaska, raising $20,000 in ticket proceeds to benefit Children’s Miracle Network.

Recently, A.M. Best Company affirmed an A rating (excellent) for financial strength to Foresters for the tenth year in a row. Unity Life of Canada, a Foresters company, was assigned an A- (excellent) rating for a second year.
