Founded in 1874, Foresters Financial began with the goal of
providing access to life insurance for average working families.
For 150 years, the organisation has provided life insurance and
savings solutions that help families achieve long-term financial
health and resilience. Today, 2.6 million customers and members in
Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom benefit from Foresters
steadfast commitment to its Purpose—improving the well-being of
families, each year, by investing millions into member
benefits1 and community partnerships.
"This year, we are not just celebrating our past; we are
acknowledging our commitment to the future," said Matt Berman, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Foresters Financial. "We've built a legacy on helping
everyday families achieve long-term financial security, and as we
look ahead, we're focused on innovating and adapting to continue
meeting the evolving needs of advisers and members in all the
countries we serve."
Highlights of the
150th-anniversary celebrations
Community giving:
- Reinforcing Foresters commitment to do more good in their local
communities, Foresters launched its 150 Big Give initiative,
allowing members to nominate a charity, in each country Foresters
operates in, to receive a £50,000 donation.
- Foresters members have access to two £200 Foresters Care grants
annually. To mark National Volunteer week in April 2024, a limited-time top-up of £150 on one
of the grants allowed Foresters members to make a more significant
impact in their communities. The stories of how members used this
increased grant amount are inspiring. Many used the £350 to
assemble care kits for local shelters, organise park cleanups, or
support food banks. One of our members recognised a critical need
and used her top-up to donate a significant supply of diapers to
her local food bank. This is just one example of the countless ways
Foresters members are making a difference in their
communities.
Celebrating the past, present,
and future:
Foresters has always been about creating a more caring future.
Today, its members keep that original vision strong by always
lending a hand and enriching communities. Read their stories and

honoured to celebrate this achievement with our members throughout
the UK. Throughout history, Foresters Financial has been a constant
source of support to everyday families by bridging the advice gap,
helping them make decisions to improve their financial wellbeing.
I'm incredibly proud of the impact on our members and the
communities we serve. Together, we look forward to building an even
stronger future for generations to come." — Nici Audhlam-Gardiner,
CEO, Foresters Financial UK
As the company celebrates 150 years of service, Foresters
