Royal Neighbors of America® is a fraternal membership organization founded on the principle that when we come together, we can make a difference and drive change for the better.
For more than 125 years, Royal Neighbors has served the needs of its members, women, their families and communities, not only by providing financial security (through life insurance and annuities) but through its platform for philanthropy.
When you join Royal Neighbors, you enjoy exclusive access to programs and resources to pursue dreams like going to college, leading a project for a cause close to your heart, and joining our national chapter network of volunteers.
Beneficial Membership
Beneficial Members are members who have a financial product with Royal Neighbors. These members are insured by Royal Neighbors or are the owners of an annuity or settlement contract with Royal Neighbors. There is no additional membership fee.
General Membership
General Members are members who don’t have a financial product with us (and are 15 years or older) who apply for membership and pay an annual membership fee of $20. Anyone holding a General Membership who has not reached the age of 15 is considered a Youth General Member. Annual membership fees are not required for Youth General Members.
