The IRES Foundation is a nonprofit charitable organization that operates independently of IRES.

The Foundation’s mission is to promote professionalism and education in the insurance regulatory community and to educate the private sector about state insurance regulation. The Foundation carries out its mission by funding educational and training programs through grants to qualifying organizations such as IRES.

For over 25 years the Foundation has operated an educational event that brings insurance compliance professionals together with industry to support greater compliance cooperation and add value for the consumer. The Foundation is a non-profit that supports the Insurance Regulatory Examiners Society.

Each year the Foundation hosts the National School on Market Regulation.
