Foundation for Economic Freedom
 Foundation for Economic Freedom The Foundation for Economic Freedom (FEF) is a public advocacy organization dedicated to promoting economic and political liberty, good governance, secure and well-defined property rights, market-oriented reforms, and consumer welfare. The non-profit company is based in Quezon City, the Philippines.

The foundation also works to liberalize tree plantation policies, enhance indigenous peoples’ ancestral land rights, and engages stakeholders through lectures, webinars, educational programs, and publications addressing economic freedom, land management, and institutional reforms in the Philippines.
