About Fraternal Benefit Societies

Fraternal benefit Societies in the U.S. and Canada with an aggregate membership of approximately 9 million persons of various ethnic, religious, and vocational backgrounds have been an integral part of America's social fabric for more than a century. While life styles have changed, the basic needs of men and women - both social and economic - continue to be served by societies of the far-reaching Fraternal Benefit System, carrying on the traditions and ideals of its historic beginnings.  Fraternal benefit societies represent one of the nation's largest and most effective volunteer networks.  In thousands of communities across the U.S., members finance, organize, and deliver a wide variety of social services to those in need.  Fraternal benefit societies also help secure their members' financial futures by offering them an array of financial services, including life insurance and annuities.

Today, America's Fraternal Benefit Societies are organized collectively and work together through the National Fraternal Congress of America (NFCA). Visit the NFCA Website to learn more about Fraternalism and Fraternal Societies today.
